At this moment there is a clamor for your downfall in the throats of three hundred thousand toil-worn, honest laboring men. Between their victim and their vengeance no State, no municipal authority will interpose a hand.
On a Sunday morning he was strolling with his mule-driver friend Tim Rafferty, a kindly lad with a pair of dreamy blue eyes in his coal-smutted face. They came to Tim's home, and he invited Hal to come in and meet his family. The father was a bowed and toil-worn man, but with tremendous strength in his solid frame, the product of many generations of labour in coal-mines.

O heart of wo! raise up thy toil-worn brow; The fields, the trees, the very breeze they all are resting now: The air is still, there is no sound, save that unceasing hum, That insect song of summer-time that from the woods doth come.

"Well, little wife! Busy, as usual? Always busy, sweetheart?" At his greeting Beatrice looked up as though startled.
By the time the matter of the spade was settled, the great bell rang, the gangs went marching over the old familiar level, up the old path in the grass-mound on which the Palace stands, and so, in lax order, like shabby French conscripts, powdered, toil-worn, into the gates. Then the search on parade: during which, as Black busily searched him, Hogarth said: "Search well".
They often walked together on the street; and it must have been pleasing to see this tall, handsome, and aristocratic youth, eagerly listening to the wise words of the homely, toil-worn workman beside him.
