It's my duty as a Christian," says he. One evening, along the second week in July 'twas, I got up from the supper-table and walked over toward the hotel, smoking, and thinking what I'd missed in not having a girl like that set opposite me all these years. And, in the shadder of the big bunch of lilacs by the gate, I see a feller standing, a feller with a leather bag in his hand, a stranger.

When he died, Miss Anna used to keep me 'bout her jes' like I war her shadder.
Then he takes a look over the county the kind of a look a man gives when he's thinking hard. Then says he, 'Red, take off your hat. I done it. 'Smithy, take off your hat. 'All right, says Smith; 'but you tell me why, or I'll snake the shirt off you to square things. "'Boys, says Shadder, 'I'm Lord Walford. "'Lord Hellford; hollers Smithy.
"Six, sir," says I, "and every one of 'em has a brother!" "Poor woman," says he, "a dozen children! give her this half-sovereign from me, clerk."

Enteren the Church is the ruin of a man's wit for wit's nothen without a faint shadder o' sin.
You know the shadder sometimes will be clean across the road, but when you find the post itself 'taint more'n five feet high. Then again the things we don't expect 'll come some morning like a great harricane, and kill the marigolds of the heart in just a minit."
'Really, 'tis a'most too early for that sort o' thing however, to oblige a friend, I don't object to the faintest shadder of a drop. The postman drank, and Manston did the same to a very slight degree. Five minutes later, when they came to a gate, the flask was pulled out again.

"If they'd only knowed that I war standin' in th' shadder there!" he mused.
Poyser, by way of conclusion, "you might tell her she's got but one aunt left, and SHE'S wasted pretty nigh to a shadder; and we shall p'rhaps all be gone twenty mile farther off her next Michaelmas, and shall die o' broken hearts among strange folks, and leave the children fatherless and motherless." "Nay, nay," said Mr.
Well, I arn't; but, you'll scuse me, sir, have you happened to call and see anyone as has given you some cake and wine as was rather too strong for a hot sunny day like this?" "No!" roared Aleck, in a thorough passion now. "Such insolence! Say again that I threw a weight of paper and broke a hole through her." "Well, sir, I see your shadder." "You did not, for I've not been back till just now."
Of course it's not a pleasant thing to think you have shot a man, but you did it in self-defense, and were justified." "It's roight ye are on thot point, me bhoy; but it's a long toime before Oi'll rist aisy from thinkin' av it an' belavin' me own loife in danger. Oi'll be afeared av me own shadder in th' darruk.
