'Ah! said Arabella, drawing nearer the wall. 'Ah, indeed, said Sam. 'Ve thought ve should ha' been obliged to strait-veskit him last night; he's been a-ravin' all day; and he says if he can't see you afore to-morrow night's over, he vishes he may be somethin' unpleasanted if he don't drownd hisself. 'Oh, no, no, Mr. Weller! said Arabella, clasping her hands.
Young Har is a unknown quantity, sir a will o' the wisp, or as you might say, a ignus fattus. At this pre-cise moment 'e may be in Jerusalem or Jericho or a-sittin' outside on the lawn which Gawd forbid! But there, don't let's talk of it. Come on down into the cellars, and we'll bring up enough port to drownd sorrer an' care all night." "With all my heart!" said Mr.
Now I looke upon't, With those black patches it does put me in mind Of a white soule with sinns upon't, and frights me. How sell you grapes? Sis. This rudenes Is beyond the manners of a gentleman. Cou. I cannot helpe it, and I hope you thinke so. Sis. I am confirm'd that now I am forsaken, But if your passion have not drownd all reason I pray let us part civilly. Cou. Sis. Whoe's there? Cou.
The boys used to collect by the side o' that there flume to see me ride a log down, an' I've watched 'em drop in a dead faint when I spun by the crowd; but land! you can't drownd some folks, not without you tie nail-kags to their head an' feet an' drop 'em in the falls; I 've rid logs down the b'ilin'est rapids o' the Kennebec an' never lost my head.
A cold air struck our faces. Our feet sank ankle-deep in the mud. The cobbler did not stop, but ran on into the Pool, where the shawled figure of a woman stood, covered to the waist by the sullen, black water. "Ada! Ada!" cried the cobbler, throwing his arms about her. "Leave me go!" shrieked the woman. "I'm a-goin' to drownd myself!"
Jim said it was so; and the king told him to shut up, and said, "Oh, yes, it's MIGHTY likely!" and shook me up again, and said he reckoned he'd drownd me. But the duke says: "Leggo the boy, you old idiot! Would YOU a done any different? Did you inquire around for HIM when you got loose? I don't remember it." So the king let go of me, and begun to cuss that town and everybody in it.

"They're a nice lot, Mas'r Harry swam off like a set of copper-skinned varmints, and left the gal to drownd; and when some one else has the pluck to save her, they look savage and disappointed, and snatch her away just as if they were recovering stolen goods.
"You work oncommon 'ard drownd me if you don't!" "Pretty hard!" I nodded. "An' gets well paid for it, p'r'aps?" "Not so well as I could wish," said I. "Not so well as 'e could wish," nodded the Postilion, apparently addressing the sledge-hammer, for his gaze was fixed upon it. "Of course not the 'arder a man works the wuss 'e gets paid 'ow much did you say you got a week?"
Weller, throwing all his energy into one most complicated kick, as he at length permitted Mr. Stiggins to withdraw his head from the trough, 'send any vun o' them lazy shepherds here, and I'll pound him to a jelly first, and drownd him artervards! Sammy, help me in, and fill me a small glass of brandy. I'm out o' breath, my boy.
If I hedn't 'a' be'n so old, I'd 'a' jumped in myself, for you can't drownd a Wiley, not without you tie nail-kegs to their head an' feet an' drop 'em in the falls." Alcestis, who had neither brains, courage, nor experience, had, better still, the luck that follows the witless.
