Brimberly, squinting at an empty bottle, "I used to know a very good song once, called 'Let's drownd all our sorrers and cares. But good 'eavens! we can't drownd 'em in empty bottles, can we?" "Oh, very good!" chuckled Mr. Jenkins, "oh, very prime! If I might suggest, there's nothin' like port port's excellent tipple for drowndin' sorrer and downing care what?" "Port, sir?" repeated Mr.
Never say no sawl's lost while you give all power to the Maker o' sawls. Go in fear, I sez, else theer'll come a whirlwind o' God-sent sorrer to strike wheer your heart's desire be rooted. 'Tis allus so allus " Tom entered upon these words, and Uncle Chirgwin's eyes dropping upon him as he spoke, his utterance sounded like a prophecy.
Desmond watched the jolly crew as they turned into the Minories, and heard their rollicking chorus: "Ho! when the cargo's shipped, An the anchor's neatly tripped, An' the gals are weepin' bucketfuls o' sorrer, Why, there's the decks to swab, An' we en't a-goin' to sob, S'pose the sharks do make a meal of us tomorrer." At the Goat and Compasses Diggle was awaiting him.
'Man is born to labour, as the sparks fly upward, you know." "Born to sorrer, you mean!" she corrected. "Precisely," he nodded, "work is sorrow, and sorrow is work at least, I know a good many people who think so." "More fools them!" quoth Mrs. Trapes, folding her arms. "My own idea exactly!" he answered, lazily tapping out his pipe on the window sill.
Wanted to tell her sometimes when she kissed me and called me "father" wanted to tell her, "Leetle Lizzie, let me help ye bear yer load. Speak out the sorrer that's in yer broken heart; speak it out, leetle one, an' let me help yer bear yer load!" But it is n't for a man to have them feelin's leastwise, it is n't for him to tell uv 'em. So I held my peace and made no sign.
"Faither," she said very gently, "faither dearie, forgive me. I begs it so hard; 'tis the thing I wants most. I feared to see 'e, but you was sent off the waters that I might. I comed in tremblin' an' sorrer to see wheer I've lived most all my short days. I'm that differ'nt now to what I was. Uncle Thomas'll tell 'e.
"Yer takin' a Christian view of yer own disappointment, Brother Gideon," she said, with less astringency of manner; "but every heart knoweth its own sorrer. I'll be gettin' supper now that the baby's sleepin' sound, and ye'll sit by and eat."
I might 'ave stayed there till I died, an' then you'd have been hung." "What are, you jawing about?" retorted Sam. "How could I know you was comin'?" "You know'd it well enough," returned the old lady. "You'll bring your mother's gray hairs with sorrer to the grave." "She ain't got any gray hairs," said Sam doggedly. "Well, she will have some, ef she lives long enough.
I'm sorrer ter be a denyin' of yer, but yer mawther's hid o' hair I ha'n't niver approved on; I can't ondertake it, an' so, I say, straight forrerd, at oncet." The face so "accustomed to refusings" did not change, no flush of resentment relieved its waxen pallor or lightened its fading eyes. "'Tis th' last thing I'm a-askin' of yer," the poor woman said, weakly.
It seems to me Love's as bad as Religion for bringin' about sorrer!" Vivie: "If you mean that it is answerable for the same intense happiness and even more intense unhappiness, I suppose you're right. I'm miserable, mother, and it's some relief to me to say so. If I could become honourably the wife of Michael Rossiter I'm afraid I should let Suffrage have the go-by.
