"I can roar an' I can keep on roarin' but what's the good of roarin' when you can't do any bitin' an' tearin'?"
'Stead o' that, I wrapped him up warm in my own blankets, after I had chipped his boots and the hice off of 'em, and I made up a roarin' fire. Good Lord, how the poor fellow groaned when he begun to get warm! I gave him a pannikin full o' hot tea, with a drop o' grog in it, and that seemed to make him awful bad.

We hed jest made up our minds to go hunting for 'em when we ketched sight o' you, and then we concluded to stay and see who you was." "I'm surprised that you didn't go sooner." "We couldn't. There was a roarin' torrent coming down from the mountains that cut us off.
"'Ah, 'twas a great big place altogether too big for my taste; an' they had roarin' fires in the grates. I was near killed wid the hate. "'That indeed! says the Gout, pricking up his ears."
Wanst I half-roused, an' begad the noise in my head was tremenjus roarin' and rattlin' an' poundin' such as was quite new to me. "Mother av Mercy," thinks I, "phwat a concertina I will have on my shoulders whin I wake!" An' wid that I curls mysilf up to sleep before ut should get hould on me.
