He was idling there, he said, for health's sake, and one evening, seeing a number of men loafing about, he proposed to one of them that he should give them an address. This gentleman declined the address, but added, characteristically enough, "If ye'll gie me some beer I'll drink it." Two others, being asked if they would listen, "didn't know as they would." Under these unpromising auspices Mr.
The terminus stopped Dick in the midst of an eloquent harangue on the beauties of exercise. He would buy Maisie a horse, such a horse as never yet bowed head to bit, would stable it, with a companion, some twenty miles from London, and Maisie, solely for her health's sake should ride with him twice or thrice a week. 'That's absurd, said she. 'It wouldn't be proper.
I never travel with a window open; my health's delicate." I tried to shut it, but it wouldn't go up or down, till a gentleman put out his cane and touched it, and down it slid, like Signor Blitz. It did seem as if everything about the cars went by miracle. I thanked him, but I found afterward it would have been more polite not to have spoken.
He tried to get up when I came in, but that was hopeless; so he reached me a hand instead, and stumbled out some salutation. "Papa's pretty full this morning," observed Case. "We've had an epidemic here; and Captain Randall takes gin for a prophylactic don't you, Papa?" "Never took such a thing in my life!" cried the captain indignantly.

Some people don't need much to upset 'em Elma's one! I guess there's never much snap to her!" The dark brows arched expressively. "Really! I am afraid I hardly er understand the expression!"
It is to become degraded and unrecognisable, it is to wear the brand of liar before God! The man whose outer life belies the inner is an enforced suicide. There is something of majesty on "laying one's self down with a will," and there is something of strength in cloistering the body for the spirit's health's sake, but to die when all within is warm and clamorous for life is terrible.
"Eh! mother!" said Dickon admiringly, "what a wonder tha' art! Tha' always sees a way out o' things. They was quite in a pother yesterday. They didn't see how they was to manage without orderin' up more food they felt that empty inside." "They're two young 'uns growin' fast, an' health's comin' back to both of 'em.
There were twenty-three of the Englishmen who would never again answer the roll-call; and over forty wounded, who were conveyed on board the Good Adventure and the Elizabeth, afloat in the bay. The dead, both black and white, were, for health's sake, immediately buried in the sand where they lay.
Philip had not returned when I got home. Another mysterious journey to London? No. After an absence of more than two hours, he came back. Naturally enough, I asked what he had been about. He had been taking a long walk. For his health's sake? No: to think. To think of what? Well, I might be surprised to hear it, but his idle life was beginning to weigh on his spirits; he wanted employment.
