"Hell to me sowl, then, didn't Li Choo pull things straight? I'm not much of a murd'ring man meself I haven't the stren'th with me fingers, but there's manny a time I'd like to do what Li Choo done.... Shure, I don't want to be sp'akin' ill of the dead, but look at it now.

Miss Dyer had become comparatively placid, but now she gave way to tears. "Anybody can move that waiter that's a mind to," she said, tremulously. "I would myself, if I had the stren'th; but I 'ain't got it. I ain't a well woman, an' I 'ain't been this twenty year. If old Dr. Parks was alive this day, he'd say so. 'You 'ain't never had a chance, he says to me.
Robert, my man, be a guid lad, an' serve the Lord wi' a' yer hert, an' sowl, an' stren'th, an' min'; for gin ye gang wrang, yer ain father 'll hae to beir naebody kens hoo muckle o' the wyte o' 't, for he's dune naething to bring ye up i' the way ye suld gang, an' haud ye oot o' the ill gait. For the sake o' yer puir father, haud ye to the richt road.
"'Cause they didn't have any lamb, prob'ly," promptly replied Elizabeth from the audience, where she sat surrounded by her dolls. "Hurry up, sister, it's my turn." "Is it ager, children, you're askin' about?" asked Mrs. Flaharty, flopping out a sheet.

He 's a goner anyhow in about five minutes yeh kin see that. Ye 'd better take 'im outa th' road. Where th' blazes does hi git his stren'th from?" "Lord knows!" cried the youth. He was shaking his hands helplessly.
"I'm obleeged, Bas." Maggard's voice was faint but steady now. "Thar's a thing I've got ter tell ye afore my stren'th gives out." Beguiled by a seeming absence of suspicion into the belief that Maggard had just then awakened to consciousness, Rowlett ensconced himself on the bedside and nodded an unctuous sympathy. The other closed his eyes and spoke calmly and without raising his lids.
I almost did," with a hopeful grin. "But it takes a lot o' stren'th." "Perhaps it does if you are not used to it," said Sara, with friendly sympathy; "but you don't know how easy it is when you've done it often. I wouldn't try so hard just at first. It will come to you after a while. I'll just tell you what things are. Look at these."
But musha good gracious, he needn't ha' throubled himself to be gettin' them that sizable. Somethin' the bigness of a hedge-sparrer's, or maybe a weeny white butterfly's, 'ud ha' plinty stren'th enough for the job, if that was all they had to do."
