'What's in the wind now? quoth Robert to himself, at the other end of the board, as he surveyed this contrast of personages. Looking down the lines of hungry labourers for Nim's duplicate face, it was absent, though he had seen it a-field. Andy's was 343 also wanting, and with it the hilarity which radiated from him upon surrounding company.
Were we dreaming? Or was it our informant who was but half awake or in error? I believe not, and that the elegant and princely Chateau de Ferrieres thus acknowledges the fact of lady smokers! When not disposed to go far a-field in search of pleasure or instruction, we find plenty to interest us close at hand.
Yet art full young to bear arms a-field." "Doth my youth plague thee still, messire? Believe me, I am older than I seem." "Thou, at peril of thy life, Fidelis, didst leap 'twixt me and death, so needs must I know thee for my friend, and yet " "And yet, messire?" "Thou hast betimes the look and speech of one of one beyond all traitors vile!"
Brawling and drink Have brought unto men Sorrow sore oft enow; Yea, bane unto some, And to some weary bale; Many are the griefs of mankind.

Stories about weirs, and sudden floods, and leaping pike, and steamers that flung hard bottles at least bottles were certainly flung, and FROM steamers, so presumably BY them; and about herons, and how particular they were whom they spoke to; and about adventures down drains, and night-fishings with Otter, or excursions far a-field with Badger.
Spencer was saying, with a smile, between gratification and sadness, "I did not think my name would have been remembered here so long." "We had used up mine, and the grandfathers', and the uncles', and began to think we might look a little further a-field," said Dr. May.

While the inhabitants of the village were hunting far a-field for him, Baderoon lay concealed among some lumber in rear of a hut awaiting his opportunity. It was not very long of coming.
The finishing of this, with weeding the Indian corn, renewing the fence, and fishing, and trapping, and shooting partridges and ducks and pigeons, fully occupied their time this summer.
