"Ah, you're always so clever with your wonderings," said Peter and Paul again; "as if you'd never heard a woodpecker hacking and pecking at a hollow tree." "Well, well," said Youngling, "I think it would be a piece of fun just to see what it really is." And so off he set to climb the rock, while the others laughed and made game of him.
And thus the annals of Broadmoor began to dribble to me, overlaid too frequently for my taste with philosophic reflections at large upon what a lone, defenceless woman could expect in this world irrelevant, pointed wonderings as to whether a party letting on he was a good ranch hand really expected to perform any labour for his fifty a month, or just set round smoking his head off and see which could tell the biggest lie; or mebbe make an excuse for some light job like oiling the twenty-two sets of mule harness over again, when they had already been oiled right after haying.
"Ah, well, I shall know. It is only to wait." He did not seem to want any answer; it was enough to ramble on, filled with placid content, between dreams and waking, his hand held firm in that of his old friend. Afterwards, when Gifford came in, he scarcely noticed that the rector slipped away. It was enough to fill his mist of dreams with gentle wonderings and a quiet expectation.
She was a woman to whom men might carry their ambitions, and women their hopes, and little children their wonderings, and all be assured of sympathetic audience and wise counsel.
In the warmth and plenty of the lighted house, by the schoolroom table, before the cosily covered teapot, amid the high talk, the hot toast and the jam, my experience in the dusky wood seemed unreal, lawless, almost too terrible to be remembered never, never to be named. It haunted me for many days, and gave rise to curious wonderings now and then.
Whereas, the Sparkler question was on the different footing that any one could see what was going on there, and Little Dorrit saw it and pondered on it with many doubts and wonderings. The devotion of Mr Sparkler was only to be equalled by the caprice and cruelty of his enslaver.
Many were the wonderings and conjectures that went on in his mind, as to what kind of a person the master would be whether he would like the boys, if he would be strict and cross, and if the lessons would be very difficult.
And I wonder if there was ever one who didn't think he could." "I confess," he said quickly, "that I'm not clever enough to know what you mean by those two wonderings of yours." "Oh, yes you do. You deliberately tried to shy off my first question" at this point she touched a bell "by answering the second first, and then omitting to answer the first at all."
I must take him home! For this was her own work, and she thought of her wonderings and her questions no more. Some one touched her on the shoulder, and she looked round; and behind her was a great company of the dear children from the better country, whom the Father had sent, and not her, lest he should grieve for those he had left behind, to come for the child and show him the way.
Would she leave school, and There were so many wonderings that she asked her mother a great many questions, and went off on Monday morning feeling quite ready to give Clara all the sympathy she needed. But Clara was not at school on Monday, but on the next day she appeared.
