Then the flow subsided, the groups became fewer and farther between, the working classes had gone home; and as the gas blazed now that the day's toil was over, idleness and amusement seemed to wake up. Ah! yes; Gervaise had finished her day! She was wearier even than all this mob of toilers who had jostled her as they went by.
The rocks cast a deep shadow, and the willow trees, on either side of the river. She paused, looked up and about her, and then ran on, fearful. "What was I afraid of? How foolish I have been!" she said, when she came to a place where the trees were not so close together. And she stood still and looked back and shivered. At last her steps grew wearier and wearier.
I'll keep them dandering about the door for a while, and do you get your horses and out by the back way into the field. You can strike the road again lower down." It was late in the evening when Donald and Neal, with weary horses and wearier limbs, came close to Antrim.
In later and wearier years these spectacles will flash before their eyes unbidden, they will see the water dimpled by rising trout, and watch the cattle stealing through the ford, and disappearing, grey shapes, in the grey of the hills.
Having escaped the perils of the deep, and the much graver perils of the dinner table, during our southern trip, we returned to Manila, wearier, wiser and sadder men than when we started, for we had learned much of the superstitions, the ignorance and the obsessions which prevailed among the Filipinos, and we knew that many of the men who from love of country had accepted office under us had done so at the peril of their lives.

And though a new and weary day is now beginning, and though it should be followed by a thousand wearier still, though death is the end of life still we believe in our Redeemer, we have God's word bidding us out of sorrows and sufferings into his Heaven, promising us for a brief time of misery in this world, endless ages of joy.
All through that long, warm afternoon he raced about the city and suburbs, growing wearier and more empty with every step.
