Telimena, amazed and almost panic-stricken, raised herself gradually and knelt on the shawl; at first she listened with attention, then with a gesture she opposed him, waving her hand vigorously over her ear, as if she were driving off the unpleasant words like gnats, back into the mouth of the speaker. “Ha! ha! that is a new idea!
By the time they had had their tea and Huldah was ready to start, it was already growing light out of doors. The night had been cold, and there was a thin layer of ice on the puddles in the road, and a nipping little wind made Huldah glad to wrap her old shawl snugly about her, the shawl which Mrs. Perry had lent her, to save the new cloak.
Again she listened; no sound: then again it rang through space; and this time she was sure it was human. She turned into the house, and heaped turf and wood on the fire, which, careless of her own sensations, she had allowed to fade and almost die out. She put a new candle in her lantern; she changed her shawl for a maud, and leaving the door on latch, she sallied out.
"Steady," advised Launcelot, as he shifted her carefully to the center, "now for the lily and the letter, Judy," and he threw over the prostrate Anne a yellow silk shawl of Judy's which was to serve as cloth of gold. "Now, Perkins," and Perkins climbed to the high stool, which had been set in an armchair and formed the bow of the boat.
Who'll be after buying the next one off of me?" His eyes lighted on the Twins. They shook in their shoes. "He'll be clapping one of them on us next," Larry said to Eileen.

An old woman, with a white cap and a shawl over her head and a basket on her arm, smiled at them as they slipped by.
"I should say it was," cried Alexia, "and didn't it sell, though! and everybody wished there was more, except my horrible old shawl." "Why, Alexia Rhys!" Polly poked up her head where she had been nestling it on Alexia's shoulder. "You know Mrs. Sterling sent for the shawl and gave five dollars for it."
Overcome at last by her anxiety, she rushed down stairs, and had just reached the last step, when she was seized by two persons. A shawl was passed over her head, and she was forced out of the house. Amabel's departure for Berkshire caused no change in her father's mode of life.
He would not permit the shawl to be stirred. A bas! a bas: resounded from below. The uproar was inconceivable. You would have thought that the house must have come down. In the mean time the piece went on, and the shawl covered all its defects. Admire my generalship. T tells me I was born for a general; yet I rather think my forte is negotiation.
And draped in her shawl, she stood there smiling. "You had better wait till she comes," said Catherine. "I don't like the way you say that," Mrs. Penniman rejoined, in a moment. "Catherine, are you changed?" "No; I am the same." "You have not swerved a line?" "I am exactly the same," Catherine repeated, wishing her aunt were a little less sympathetic. "Well, I am glad!" and Mrs.
I remember looking out and seeing an old green plaid shawl of hers over the verbena bed. There was a fire in my little wood-stove. Mrs. Bird made it, I know.
