"I mean to!" was the calm reply. "I'd like to wring old Smeardon's neck too!" but the broad good humour of the rosy face, the twinkling eyes, belied these truculent words.
This girl, too, had doubtless had her own ideas of the effect that her death was to make, her conviction that it was to wring one heart, at least, and to strike awe and pity to every other; and her woman's soul must have been shocked from death could she have known in what a ghastly comedy the body she put off was to play a part.
At last she had managed to wring some expression of feeling out of him. She would try it again. This was on a Sunday. Later in the day Fruen was strangely restless; she said a few kindly words to me, and mentioned that both Nils and I had managed our work very well. "Lars has been to the post office today," she said, "to fetch a letter for me. It's one I particularly want.
"I'll ask Uncle Joshua," she said to herself; "I'll go early to-morrow morning and ask him. He'll know." Joshua had a very decided opinion on the question placed before him next day: Could Lilac live alone at the cottage and take in the washing as her mother used to do? "I can reach the line quite easy if I stand on a stool," she said anxiously; "and Mrs Wishing, she'd help me wring."

Jack and Otto twisted it between them until all the moisture it was possible to wring out left it in a dozen tiny rills. "Deerfoot," said the German, wheeling about, "dot ish de blanket vot vot I don't vot I put on your shoulders ven it rained." The Shawanoe bowed his head, smiled and said: "Deerfoot knows his brother speaks truth." "I gives him to you be ish yours."
The next minute Tom was whistling his way through the camp. "Yes," he continued, "mother's got what the writing chaps call 'a good literary style, and she hits the bull's-eye every time. Gosh, what a fool I've been! Fancy giving up Alice Lister for a lass like that. I wonder if it's true that Alice has took up wi' that parson chap. I'd like to wring his neck, I would for sure."
