"Thou art likely to make acquaintance with the pillory and the cart's tail, if not with the hangman, friend," said the soldier who secured him, with a laugh. "So I begin to fear," replied Dick. "Alack! and well-a-day! what will become of Gillian!"
"The Princess married me. . . . Oh, well-a-day and lack-a-day, the whirligig of time and fortune, the topsyturviness of luck, the wooden shoe going up and the polished heel descending a French gunboat, a conquered island kingdom of Oceania, to-day ruled over by a peasant-born, unlettered, colonial gendarme, and . . .

"I will have thee bid him come hither," said the Countess; "or stay, thou terrified fool, I will bid him myself, and spare thee a chiding." "Ah! well-a-day, dearest lady, if that were the worst," said Janet sadly; while the lady called to the pedlar, "Good fellow, step forward undo thy pack; if thou hast good wares, chance has sent thee hither for my convenience and thy profit."
"I am for the kerk," said she, "to hear a beautiful preacher." Kate sighed. "And a minute ago, Kate, I was all agog to go; that is the way with me this month past; up and down, up and down, like the waves of the Zuyder Zee. I'd as lieve stay aside thee; say the word!"

"Then how is an artist to find a patron? for artists are poor, not rich." "By going to some city nobler and not so greedy as this," said Teresa. "La corte Romana non vuol' pecora senza lana."
Aye, call him! call him over the lea, Aye, well and well-a-day; Lover will never come back to thee Who loves and gallops away." A strange shiver came over Betty Ives, a thrill such as she had never experienced before. She glanced at Dame Rachel. The old woman was nervously fingering the cards, and muttering to herself. Then her frightened eyes turned to her lover; he read some appeal in them.
Edith grew very pale, and her tone trembled as she answered: "Well-a-day, yes." "It is as I feared, then!" exclaimed Harold, in great agitation; "and my sister, whom these monks have demented, leagues herself with the King against the law of the wide welkin and the grand religion of the human heart.
"The fairy woman maketh moan, 'Well-a-day, and well-a-day, Forsooth I brought thee one rose, one, and thou didst cast my rose away. Hark! Oh hark, she mourneth yet, 'One good ship the good ship sailed, One bright star, at last it set, one, one chance, forsooth it failed.
