Poor Dingwall in his cornyard 'heard very grievous lamentations, which continued, as he imagined, all the way to the seashore'. These he regarded as a warning of his end, but his stepdaughter sensibly suggested that, as the morning was cold, 'the voice must be that of a fox, to cause dogs run after him to give him heat'.

"It provokes me when I think of it," answered Fanny; "and how you can flatter them so, calling their dresses becoming, and their poetry beautiful, I cannot imagine, when you know, Alice, that it is all a lie." "Well," said Alice, laughingly, "I do it for fun.
"The child was born on a good day and in a lucky hour, and yet he is so puny and weak and will not learn to speak, and that provokes Pianchi." "He will spoil everything again!" exclaimed Klea annoyed. "Where is he?" "He was wanted in the temple."
A man who boasts too much of his noble birth provokes scrutiny into the genuineness of his claim and risks its being disallowed."
