Hide me from mamma until to-morrow; then it will make no difference who sees me." Regina led her to the low rocking chair in her own room, and took off the common shawl and bonnet which she had used as a disguise, then seized her cold nerveless hand. "Do tell me your great sorrow." "Something rare nowaday. I had a heart, a live, warm, loving heart, and it is broken; dead utterly dead.
He rushed forward to assist Anneke, and remained to draw away the shawl, as soon as the keeper had succeeded in making the lion relinquish his hold. But, all this passed so rapidly, as to give little opportunity for noting incidents. Anneke was certainly well frightened by this adventure with the lion, as was apparent by her changing colour, and a few tears that succeeded.
Lewis began to understand that they had differences to settle, and that she had better leave them. She took her shawl from the peg, and pleaded that she had an appointment with a neighbour. But she wouldn't be more than half-an-hour; would they look after the house till her return? And William watched her, thinking of what he would say when she was out of hearing.
I found a shawl and an overcoat on the hat-rack, lay down on the parlour sofa, and in spite of my hurts, went to sleep. Grandmother found me there in the morning. Her cry of fright awakened me.

"But you had better come in, ma'am, and have something to eat. You will die of a chill!" "I shall not come indoors yet perhaps never." "Shall I get you something to eat, and something else to put over your head besides that little shawl?" "If you will, Liddy."
He wondered at himself for not thinking of it before, and the idea speedily coupled itself with Isabel's strange disappearance. He stepped forward and grasped her arm, trembling under the cashmere shawl. "Woman," he demanded sternly, "what have you done with Isabel North?" Isabel was thinking; but the question, twice repeated, brought her to herself.
Entering at the city gate, on the left bank of the river, near the Maharajah's palace, we walked past a row of trumpery pop-guns, on green and red carriages, and so through the most filthy and odoriferous bazaar I ever met with, till we reached the residence of Saifula Baba, the great shawl merchant of Sirinugger.
