The northern road was that cut through by General Forbes during the second campaign against Fort Duquesne, when the French had been driven from that territory by the English troops and Royal Americans. This started from Fort Bedford, about thirty miles north of Fort Cumberland, and ran over the Allegheny Mountains, and across Stony Creek, Bushy Run, and oilier streams.

Perhaps a leetle oilier in the run," the voice suggested, with meditative gusto. "Give it us again." Harker glanced, from the depths of his humiliation, at the speaker. The fellow's clothes were very bad, but he looked clean and self-reliant. "I'm only a beginner," gasped the blushing Harker, "I didn't think anybody could hear me." "Well, I like that!" returned the other.

In the former there was often quick French blood mixed with the marsh-phlegm: I regret to say that the effect of this vivacious fluid chiefly appeared in the oilier glibness with which flattery and fiction ran from the tongue, and in a manner lighter and livelier, but quite heartless and insincere.

"And what might you be doing in this part of the country?" Jimmie Kent's voice was as pleasant as Swinnerton's had been. "Maybe you remember how you did me up in the matter of the Bolton town lots, Mr. Swinnerton? Well, I am just sticking around for the fun of seeing some one do you up." Mr. Swinnerton's chuckle was softer, oilier than before.

When, however, his first sensations of surprise were over, he cautiously removed to his former position, and, just as he did, so, he heard those who had before spoken, again, in low tones, breaking the stillness of the night. "I am resolved upon it," said one; "I am quite determined. I will, please God, rid the country of that dreadful man." "Don't call him a man," said the oilier.

Except when engaged in transacting legal or oilier business with the municipal, sociologic or religious world at which times his vocabulary consisted only of the most rudimentary pidgin Mock spoke a fluent and even vernacular English learned at night school.

"Son, this sonnet brings down mem'ries; and they so stirs me I has to vamos that hurdygurdy to keep my emotions from stampedin' into tears. Shore, thar's soft spots in me the same as in oilier gents; an' that melody a-makin' of references to the old Jones an' Plummer days comes mighty clost to meltin' everything about me but my guns an' spurs.

Trelawny with regard to his book, a second edition being called for, when, to her confusion, she finds that through her not having read over the agreement, and having taken for granted that the proposal of three hundred pounds on first edition with one hundred pounds more on second was inserted, she had signed the contract; but now it turned out that what was proposed by letter was not inserted by Oilier in the agreement, and she knew not what to do.

A windlass is in the centre of the chasm; and it is by means of this windlass that the metalliferous substance is raised to the surface in square wooden boxes. Here the dressing of the ores commences; boys cluster in all directions, under the wooden shed, and in oilier sheds beyond that.

I will now relate what hath been written concerning us in the Chaldean histories, which records have a great agreement with our books in oilier things also. Berosus shall be witness to what I say: he was by birth a Chaldean, well known by the learned, on account of his publication of the Chaldean books of astronomy and philosophy among the Greeks.
