But Haw-Haw Langley cast a frightened glance on either side; his head making birdlike, pecking notions, and then he leaned over the pommel of his saddle with a wail of despair and spurred off into the rain. He disappeared, instantly, in that shivering curtain of greyness. Mac Strann sat by the ruined house alone. Now, in a time of danger a child will give courage to the strong man.
A baby, waiting in the station with its mother for the train, began to wail with fright and Hinpoha forgot her hunger in an effort to amuse him. Then the storm broke. The train roared in just as it began and mingled its noise with the thunder.
For the screaming behind was like nothing on earth but the wailing and sobbing of a little child only tenfold louder. 'Twas just as you'd fancy a baby might wail if his little limbs was being twisted to death. At the hill's foot, as you know, a stream crosses the lane that widens out there a bit, and narrows again as it goes up t'other side of the valley.
'Tonio says his people are persecuted saints, and all others perjured sinners." And just then, through the silence of the night, there rose upon the air, distant yet distinct, the prolonged, anguished, heart-broken wail of a woman in dire distress a Rachel mourning for her children, and refusing to be comforted.

When they had suffered their adored mistress's temerity in silence for as long as canine toleration could be expected to endure, one or other of them would lift up his voice in a long-drawn wail of protest, the others would immediately join in, and the chorus of howls continued to make day hideous until Lady Susan issued from the water and hurried into her tent to dress.
Their discomfort was aggravated by the conduct of their father, whose life now was one long wail over his misfortunes, and who alternately sought comfort in the Prayer-book and in the decanter for the ills which had befallen him. To Laura, however, Tamfield presented one attraction, which was now about to be taken from her.
She had accepted her whole relation to Will very simply as part of her marriage sorrows, and would have thought it very sinful in her to keep up an inward wail because she was not completely happy, being rather disposed to dwell on the superfluities of her lot.
