To Roderick, and to most of the town people, he seemed to be shouldering all his old burdens with his usual energy and light-heartedness, but J. P. missed a familiar note of joyousness in his tone, and Archie Blair noticed that Ed did not go up the steps of his office in one leap now as he had always done, but walked up like other people. But to the casual observer, Lawyer Ed was the same.
Marston had longed for a rifle ever since he could walk, but his prospects of obtaining one were very poor indeed at that time, and it is a question whether he did not at that moment experience as much joy in handling the old piece as his friend felt in shouldering the prize. A difficulty now occurred which had not before been thought of.
One morning, still in the month of July, I broke away from the charms of Ambialet, and shouldering again my old knapsack which, by travelling hundreds of miles in all weathers, had become disgracefully shabby, but which was a friend too well stitched together to be thrown aside on account of ill-looks I continued my journey up the valley of the Tarn.
"An' not wastin' his time arguin' fool questions," added Ferguson. "You sure ain't plum greenhorn," declared Rope admiringly. "Thank yu'," smiled Ferguson; "I wasn't lookin' to see whether you'd cut your eye-teeth either." "Well, now," remarked Rope, rising and shouldering his saddle, "you've almost convinced me that a double cinch ain't a bad saddle. Seems to make a man plum good humored."
But do put your pipe out, Tom, and let us resume our march, for we have a long way to go, and much work to do before reaching the camp to-night." Thus admonished, Tom Brown made an extinguisher of the end of his forefinger, put his short clay pipe in his waistcoat pocket, and, shouldering his rifle, followed his companions into the forest, on the edge of which they had been resting.
The tinker unconsciously forestalled it by shouldering her, as if she had been a whole bag of water-soaked cats, and carrying her up the stairs. After looking into three rooms he deposited her on the threshold of a fourth. "It has the look of women folks; you're sure to find some left-behind clothes o' theirs hanging up somewhere. Come down when you're dry an' I'll have that fire waiting for you."
'No, said the little blanket-man, stoutly. In an instant Fog had tripped him up, seized a sheet and blanket from the bed, bound his hands and feet with one, and wrapped him in the other. 'Now, then, he said shouldering the load, 'open the door. 'But the Mormons, objected Waring. 'O, they like a joke, they will only laugh!
'How long is this ago? asked Mr Dombey, making another halt. 'Edith Granger, Sir, replied the Major, shutting one eye, putting his head on one side, passing his cane into his left hand, and smoothing his shirt-frill with his right, 'is, at this present time, not quite thirty. And damme, Sir, said the Major, shouldering his stick once more, and walking on again, 'she's a peerless woman!
Our attitude towards the events which befall us makes all the difference. If men have been ruined by success, it is as true that men have been made by failure. If men have deteriorated through ease and plenty, men have been stimulated to effort through hardship and poverty. In a word, if there is much in the burden, there is as much in the shouldering.
Some handkerchiefs, which we had brought from on board served to line them, and make them more impervious to the sun. Our task completed, strapping our knapsacks on our backs and shouldering our rifles, we commenced our march along the shores of the lake.
