"You saw nothing?" "Not so much as a shadder, sir." "A lost boat, likely ship-wrecked sailors adrift in the fog; perhaps our other quarter-boat. No one hailed them?"

"He came last night, mum, with Trim, and looks a shadder of hisself, but said as he was glad to be home again, and what was the news." "Ho!" said Mrs. Parry, rubbing her nose with a teaspoon, "wants to hear the news, does he? I'll ask him to tea to-morrow no, to-day. You can take a note up to his place, Jane." "Yes, mum," replied Jane, who was friendly with Giles' housekeeper.
Thar they air, cowerin' clost in agin one o' the waggons. 'Tain't much kit? I admit; still thar's a shadder. Come, Frank, and let's try it." Hamersley hesitated.

But, as the guide had truly said what good could he do them by staying and getting killed?
The poor ol' feller 'ad been poisoned, missy; the doctor said 'e must a' bin dead twelve hours when the Bowens found 'im. Everything of value was gone from the hut along with his mate, old Harris the black-hearted villain he must be!" "Why, do they think he killed the other man?" Norah asked.

They began early, perhaps they'll end late, but there is one thing, the things we expect are agoin' to kill us, most allus turn out like the shadder of a gate post.
As I laid there in the shadder of the bushes I hearn a fluttering movement, light and gentle, on that porch.

If he ever says you left him, you can say he left you, for he did." It was a spring day it was April and we walked as fast as we could, runnin' part of the time. Mitch was wild about the country, about trees, birds, the river and the fields.
You would see the beloved face lookin' down at you from every mountain you would climb, and the shadder of their form would seem to appear in the mist of every valley. Every sunset would gleam with the smilin' light of their eyes, and every sunrise would begen to you, tellin' you that one more night had gone, and you wuz so much nearer to the Eternal Reunion.
