"Well-a-day!" answered old Baucis, "I do wish our neighbours felt a little more kindness for their fellow creatures.
"Ah me! Well-a-day!" exclaimed Philemon, when they had walked a little way from their door.

"No, my will shall be done this time," shouted Denys. "Le bon Dieu has bigger fish to fry than you or me. I'll go with thee to Rome. There is my hand on it." "Think what, you say! 'Tis impossible.

I hae let an ill-doer escape from the place of imprisonment But there's balm in Gilead, Mr. Osbaldistone Mattie, I can let mysell in see Mr.
I was alway a thoughtful, quiet maiden, more meet for cloister than court; and I well remember, though 'tis fifty years ago, the morrow when my baby-sister was put into mine arms, and I was bidden to have a care of her.
