Then Tapping, he says, was that to point at 'Lethear?
Beneath the thunder of the sultry blasts the place lay dead in its flapping shroud of dust. "Why won't you tell me?" droned Billy. For some time he had been returning, like a mosquito brushed away.

Think twiced of it, and don't you go wasting your time ashore when there's such a profession as the sea opening of its arms to you and a arstin of you to come. Look at your father: there's a man!" "Is he a very fine sailor?" "Is he a fine sailor!" said the boatswain staring. "What a question to ask! why, there aren't a better one nowhere. Think twiced on it, my lad, and come all the way."
"My! and they'll be real glad to get him, ye know. Twiced they've been here fur him. They say that Newell Knight he's possessed with a devil." Susannah wrapped her shawl tightly across her breast, a nervous movement caused not by cold but by the desire to withdraw her real self from the surrounding circumstance. A tall thin man sitting by the table set down his mug with a clatter upon it.
"Dining at Grant's?" shouted Elkin in a fury. "Well, I'm " "'Ush, Fred!" expostulated Tomlin with a shocked glance at Mr. Franklin. "Wot's wrong wi' a bit of grub, ony ways? A very nice-spoken young gent kem 'ere twiced, an' axed for Mr. Peters the second time. He's a friend o' Mr. Grant's, I reckon." "What's wrong?" stormed the horse-dealer. "Why, everything's wrong!

All afternoon they went up and down over the hot bare face of the hill, until the baggage, heavy and light, was transported and dropped piecemeal on the shore.
"What call had you got to think that?" grumbled the man in a hoarse whisper. "I went directly. How are you, young gentleman? My brother-in-law Jem had gone to sea, and I had to wait; and here I am now, large as life and twiced as ugly." "But has your brother-in-law come back?" "Oh, ay, he's got back." "And will he take my friend across to Cherbourg?"
"Why, I was a-coming swimming after you, lads," shouted Hickathrift. "You scarred me. Squire's been down twiced to see if you'd got back, and the missus is in a fine way." "Don't talk, Hicky," shouted back Dick. "Is Jacob there?" "Ay, lad. Why?" "You'll want help. Look here, send for the doctor." "Doctor, lad?" "Yes; I know. Let Jacob go and tell my father, and he'll send down the old cob.
You haven't seen because you have been too bad, but they keeps helephants here, and I know one of them." "You know one of them?" "Yes, sir; he's been to see me twiced." "Are you dreaming, Pete?" "Yes, sir with my eyes open. I have thought it all out.
