After a time he heard her voice from within the room; at first he thought she was singing a tune to herself, but then he heard sobs. He hurried into the room; she was lying on the bed, weeping, biting the pillow and striking at it angrily with her roughened hands. Her thin body burned as if with fever. "You are ill, Marie dear," said Pelle anxiously, laying his hand on her forehead.
Then it was that the HS sorrel went mad and pitched as he had never, even when building his record, pitched before. Then it was that Andy, his own temper a bit roughened by the murderous brute, rode as he had not ridden for many a day; down in the saddle, his quirt keeping time with the jumps.
I felt her kisses and tears commingled on my roughened hands, but before further words might be uttered, the heavy mat concealing the western entrance was suddenly lifted, and in from the dark night there stalked in solemn silence and dignity a long line of stalwart savages.
John's Church, which is very venerable as regards its exterior, the stone being worn and smoothed if not roughened, rather by centuries of storm and fitful weather.

He said: "I just came along here for a bit instead of going to bed. I didn't know it was so late." "Do you often just come along here?" "No. I never did it before. But to-night " "What is it you're at?"
Du Bruel, Claparon, Desroches, and the Abbe Loraux carefully observed the returned exile, whose manners and coarse features, and voice roughened by the abuse of liquors, together with his vulgar glance and phraseology, alarmed them not a little. While Joseph was placing the card-tables, the more intimate of the family friends surrounded Agathe and asked, "What do you intend to make of Philippe?"
