It was a momentary restlessness, and she recalled these words before long. Mr. Perth joined them just then. He was going away for a week's holiday on the following day. "I suppose you have a supply for Sunday," said Mrs. Perth. "Yes, I have. I think he'll be a very good one. He's a volunteer missionary." "Where is he going?" asked Beth. "I don't know."
"Sure I know that very well, Miss Elleney, darlint I know I might just as well be cryin' for the moon. But the murder's out now, an' 'pon me word I'm glad of it. I couldn't stop here the way I am I'd go mad altogether. I'll throuble ye to look out for another boy, Mrs. McNally, ma'am I wish to leave in a week's time." Mrs. McNally gasped.
Laden with the traps and such stores as we required for a week's residence in the wilderness, we started, accompanied by Mr Tidey. On reaching the spot we built a substantial hut, in which we could store our provisions, and by closing the entrance, we expected to be able to preserve our beaver skins from the attacks of wolverines during our absence from camp.
Mirza Shah was absent from his home gone on a full week's journey, engaged in the settling of some dispute on the confines of his territory.

The colored persons of Toronto, having had a meeting to denounce Colonel John Prince, a member of the Canadian Parliament, for speaking against them, he publishes a reply, in which he says, I have employed hundreds of them, and with the exception of one, named Richard Hunter, not one of them has done for us a week's honest labor.

And it's my firm belief that if he knew a week's holiday would save him from his coffin, he'd not take it, unless I was at his back to make him. It's well he has somebody to look after him that's not quite deficient of common sense!" "Well, this is a plague!" grumbled Roland. "So it is for me, I know, if for nobody else," was Mrs. Jenkins's reply.
It was only yesterday that I felt an indescribable longing to see you again, to know your address that I might write to you; for yesterday, when a certain young lady left my house after a week's visit, I said this girl would make a perfect wife, and, above all, the exact wife to suit Kenelm Chillingly." "Kenelm Chillingly is very glad to hear that this young lady has left your house."
Why, bless you, last winter I was a staying with a brother of mine what farms a bit of land down in Norfolk, and after a week's rain they couldn't put the horses on to the fields. This here sile looks just similar, only richer and deeper, and how they means to get these big carts laden up through it, beats me altogether."
