Oh! the world's very bad, and our hearts they are sore As we think of the errors and wrongs we have got to Endure uncomplaining, and oh! we deplore The things people do, that they really ought not to! With Courtesy dead, and with Justice "a-bed," When the mention of Love only causes a giggle, But we'd manage to live and still hold up our head, Were it not for the villain who ventures to sniggle.
Hildreth smuggled forth her coffee percolator, which she kept hidden from her husband's search ... and we soon, by the aid of an alcohol stove, had a cup of fragrant coffee a-piece ... which Darrie made.... "Penton swears coffee is worse than whiskey, the rankest of poisons. We have to hide the percolator from him." "He lies a-bed late, when he wakes.
One night I went along the Cowgate after every one was a-bed but the policeman, and stopped by hazard before a tall LAND. The moon touched upon its chimneys, and shone blankly on the upper windows; there was no light anywhere in the great bulk of building; but as I stood there it seemed to me that I could hear quite a body of quiet sounds from the interior; doubtless there were many clocks ticking, and people snoring on their backs.
Again, it is not wrong to desire peace and quiet, and to wish for mental and spiritual and physical repose; but it is decidedly wrong to stand by with your hands in your pockets when an innocent or helpless one is being assaulted by ruffians; to sit quiet and do nothing when your neighbour's house is on fire; to shirk an unpleasant duty and leave some one else to do it; or to lie a-bed when you should be up and at work.

If she chanced to be a-bed, which was very likely, or out of humour, which was not less so, Morton well knew the case to be at least problematical.
Bride's Parish, and stripped her and sent her away, and a newe one come, of Griffin's helping to, which I think will prove a pretty girl. Her name, Susan, and so to supper after having this evening paid Mr. So to bed. 22nd. Up by four o'clock to go with Sir W. Batten to Woolwich and Sir J. Minnes, which we did, though not before 6 or 7 by their laying a-bed.
"I thank your honest affection," returned Edmund, "though it is too partial to me. You had better go to bed, however; if it is known that you visit me here, it will be bad for us both." "So I will presently; but, please God, I will come here again to-morrow night, when all the family are a-bed; and I will tell you some things that you never yet heard."
After examining her features quietly, he said: 'I 'm glad to see you here, Susan. You don't regret that you followed my advice? 'No, sir; now it's over, I don't. Mother's kind enough, and father doesn't mention anything. She's a-bed with bile father's out. 'But what? There's something on your mind. 'I shall cry, if I begin, Mr. Harrington. 'See how far you can get without. 'Oh!
When Mr Pecksniff walked downstairs to the door, he found Mrs Lupin standing there, looking out. 'Ah, my good friend! he said; 'not a-bed yet! Contemplating the stars, Mrs Lupin? 'It's a beautiful starlight night, sir. 'A beautiful starlight night, said Mr Pecksniff, looking up. 'Behold the planets, how they shine!
Martha, who was a poor apprentice at a milliner's, then told them what kind of work she had to do, and how many hours she worked at a stretch, and how she meant to lie a-bed to-morrow morning for a good long rest; to-morrow being a holiday she passed at home.
