We shall say good-bye to the organist, wring his hand gratefully, and steal with him through the little door. Then in a half-hour we shall know the worst or the best; and we must remember to send him cards and a marked copy of the newspaper containing the marriage notice."
Pity me, if you please not them!" "So I do," she said with spirit "if you hate the men by whom you live!" There was silence. Then suddenly George said, in another tone: "But sometimes, I don't deny, the beggars wring it out of one your pity. I saw a mother last week Suppose we stroll on a little. I want to see how the river gets out of the wood."
But she had a sense of unfairness, and a flicker of quite impersonal resentment, that fate should wring the last few shillings from a poor being. It wasna fair. She had the emotion of it; and it spoke in the strange look at her son, and in the smiling flush with the tears behind it. Then she sank into apathy.
At first I believed that I might wring the truth from her lips, but I quickly saw that she intended to preserve her secret at all costs. Whether she actually believed what I had told her concerning her own peril was doubtful. In any case, she seemed in some strange manner held powerless and fascinated by the rich man who had saved her speculating husband from ruin.
"Egad! if I thought that, I'd wring the young rascal's neck." "There's a better way, Thomas." "What's that?" "Can't you get him dismissed from Gilbert & Mack's?" "I haven't enough influence with the firm." "Suppose they thought him dishonest?" "They'd give him the sack, of course." "Can't you make them think so, Thomas?" "I don't know."

Louis, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, great representative cities what is their history? The story of dishonesty among officials, of bribery, stealing, and every possible crime that a man can devise to wring money from the people. This is no secret. It has all been exposed by the friends of morality.
Will Swain took his own way back. With a thick mist hanging all round it would have been impossible to find the way without a guide. At intervals we stopped to wring the wet out of our skirts. I was thankful when we got to the gulch where we had to descend; though the wind was there blowing gales.
"Now don't be a fool, lad; these fellows here will stand no more from you. A valuable prize has escaped them, and they will wring the truth out of you by means you will not like, but will not be able to resist. You have a bitter enemy in Devil's Own, as he is called, and he will not spare you if you provoke.
As the conviction of our forlorn condition broke upon me I could not help it I gave way to tears. I could not wring my hands because they were busy holding on to the grating. I thought of you, mother, and papa, and dear Harry, and our sisters, and that I should never see you any more; or old England, or the Hall, or Uncle Tom, or any of my friends.
