The big sores seemed such small matters beside the vast overshadowing doubt, Shall we come out of this alive? doubt never to be openly admitted by him, but always knocking, knocking
"Tell him at once," commanded her conscience; and acting upon the impulse of the moment, she flew into the old gentleman's arms almost before he had crossed the threshold and panted out, "I 'xpect you'll be compendled to use your brass-stick measures on me this time sure.

It will take almost half of that five dollars just to pay our way into the grounds, and another dollar for carfare." "Then it's lucky Mike didn't sell the melons for me," said Peace, "or I 'xpect we'd have had to walk.

I've had an awful job getting rid of those things, but they are gone at last, and here is the money. I 'xpect Mike will be mad as hops, but he didn't know beans when he said they weren't ripe. I've raised melons enough so I know."

I 'xpect it's often got to mourn that way! Rort an' rubbish! Tell ye what!
