We are obliged to work together, unequal yoke-fellows as we are. Do I make myself understood?" "To a marvel, Señor," said Luiz Sebastian. "Damn my soul, but you're a sharp one!" said Trail. Godwyn smiled. "That is enough, we understand one another. Good-night."
What Gibbie made of the salt, I do not know; and whether he understood it or not was of little consequence, seeing he had it; but the rest of the sentence he understood so well that he would fain have the writhing yoke-fellows think of it. The lady's cheeks had been red before, but now they were redder.
For the liberty of any one nation cannot be a matter altogether indifferent to the rest, but naturally it is a common and diffusive interest; and nothing can be more reasonable than that the Englishman and the Grecian, in such a cause, should make themselves yoke-fellows, and should participate as brothers in so holy a struggle.
"I know you both so little." But she presented them with a great stately air to each other, and the two men shook hands while Madame Carré observed them. "Tiens! you gentlemen meet here for the first time? You do right to become friends that's the best thing. Live together in peace and mutual confidence. C'est de beaucoup le plus sage." "Certainly, for yoke-fellows," said Sherringham.
For what is there profitable, abiding or stable therein? Nay, in very existence, great is the misery, great the pain, great and ceaseless the attendant care. Of its gladness and enjoyment the yoke-fellows are dejection and pain.

What can be expected from these ill-assorted yoke-fellows, but that, like two ill-tempered hounds, coupled by a tyrannical sportsman, they should drag on their indissoluble fetter, snarling and growling, and pulling in different directions? What can be expected for their wretched offspring, but sickness and suffering, premature decrepitude, and untimely death?
