Upon your knees, ye pauper scum, and do him reverence!" He followed this with another horse-laugh. The girls began to plead timidly for their brother; and Nan said "An thou wilt but let him to bed, father, rest and sleep will heal his madness: prithee, do." "Do, father," said Bet; "he is more worn than is his wont.
Clergy and laity wore the same dress at that time, except for a fringe which distinguished the sacerdotal vestment. S. Cyprian, who succeeded Donatus, bishop of Carthage, speaks of its use as an ancient thing, from which it may be concluded that in the second and third centuries it was accepted as the Eucharistic vestment in North Africa, or worn by bishops outside the church.
He wore a fur cap or felt hat, moccasins, and either loose, thin trousers, or else simply leggings of buckskin or elk-hide, and the Indian breech-clout. He was always clad in the fringed hunting-shirt, of homespun or buckskin, the most picturesque and distinctively national dress ever worn in America.
I had left a man of sixty, I came back to one of seventy-five, pinched and worn and tremulous, who genuinely, this time, did not at first know me. "Oh!

De Hamal is most worthless, yet I fear he pleases her: wretched delusion!" My patience really gave way, and without notice: all at once. I suppose illness and weakness had worn it and made it brittle. "Dr. Bretton," I broke out, "there is no delusion like your own.

The officer himself looked worn and haggard after a night in the open. "Do you think the Germans will get their range as far as this? I'm nervous about the men and the horses.

"Och! an' haven't I managed her before now in heavy weather?" replied Dermot. "But suppose, Uncle Shane, I was lost, would you take care of my mother? She's not so strong as she used to be; toil has worn her down, working hard for me when I ought to have been toiling for her." "I will," answered Shane. "Will you swear it, uncle, by the Holy Virgin and the blessed saints?"
