Numerous were the floggings which his stupidity brought upon him, and the road to knowledge was with him truly a "wale of tears." One day he came home, as usual, with red eyes and hands. "O, you blockhead!" screamed his mother, she was a bit of a virago, Mrs.
Oh, it's a wale o' tears!" "But there are no bears in Vernon, Mrs. Riggs," laughed Evadne. "Land, child! you never know what there might be!" said the old lady testily.

As to the houses, they were some bigger, some smaller, as the housemates needed. Some were old, but not very old, save two only, and some quite new, but of these there were not many: they were all built fairly of stone and lime, with much fair and curious carved work of knots and beasts and men round about the doors; or whiles a wale of such-like work all along the house-front.
