The echoes of them rang in his ears as he stood endeavouring to hide his disfigured face by looking over the parapet of the bridge down upon the stream running away towards the ocean, into which his hot tears slowly fell, unheeded by the weeper. Then he changed the intention with which he had set out upon his nightly walk, and turned back to his lodging.
A girl often loses a friend by heartily endorsing the things the weeper says of her husband. The fact that he is an inconsiderate brute is frequently confided to the kindly surface of a clean shirt-waist, regardless of laundry bills. The girl remarks dispassionately that she has noticed it; that he never considers the happiness of his wife, and she doesn't see how the tearful one stands it.
Ellen was not the only subdued weeper there not the only one whose tears came from a broken-up heart. For a few minutes the silence of stifled sobs was in the room, till Ellen recovered enough to make her escape, and then the colour of sorrow was lightened, in one breast at least. "Brother," said Mr. Humphreys, "I can hear you now better than I could a little while ago.
"Speak, tell me, is the Podesta's daughter dead then? Dead is she? and when?" "This evening," said the weeper, "I met her corpse."

Then my brother gave him the name by which he was known ever after, saying: "'Why should I slay thee, Ibrahim, the Weeper? and he produced the bottle and held it above that villain's face. "His screams were music to me, and in the joy of his black heart Moussa Isa burst into some strange chant in his own Somali tongue.

But she declared that her only profession was that of a "married woman," and she was so inscribed. Her peevish boy rejoiced in the title of "pleuricheur," or "weeper," and the infant as "titeuse," or "sucker."
