"I presume likely you've heard the news from Leander Babbitt, Jed?" asked Captain Sam. "About his bein' wounded? Yes, Gab flapped in at the shop this afternoon to caw over it. Said the telegram had just come to Phineas. I was hopin' 'twasn't so, but Eri Hedge said he heard it, too. . . . Serious, is it, Sam?" "They don't say, but I shouldn't wonder.
Oak lowered the lambs from their unnatural elevation, wrapped them in hay, and placed them round the fire. "We've no lambing-hut here, as I used to have at Norcombe." said Gabriel, " and 'tis such a plague to bring the weakly ones to a house. If 'twasn't for your place here, malter, I don't know what I should do! this keen weather. And how is it with you to-day, malter?"
"I found him on the parlour sofa, the little window and the escritoire open!" Fulk said breathlessly, "the villain!" "I'm not hurt," said dear Alured's voice, faintly, but reassuringly, "Oh! put me down, Fulk." We did put him down on the floor there was no other place with his head on my lap, and I found strange voices asking him what Perrault had done to him. "Oh! nothing! 'twasn't that.
"Well!" he began; tried again, but only succeeded in repeating the word. Then he blurted out his next question. "Who'd you buy them shares for?" "Eh? For?" "Yes, for.

She grew more bitter than ever, and refused even to speak on the subject. "No, ma'am," she said wearily, when Helen went to see her after the funeral, "no, ma'am, 'tain't no use to talk. Elder Dean's been here, and I know there ain't no good hopin'. Even the preacher don't say there's any good hopin'. What you said was a comfort, ma'am, but 'twasn't true. 'Twasn't religion.
We had prayers, and there was roast beef for dinner, but they gave it to me where it was raw, and I couldn't eat it. Those that had friends went out; but 'twasn't much unlike other days. 'Poor Paul! sighed Alfred. 'It won't be like that again, though, said Paul, 'even if I was in a Union. I know what I know now.
"I know lots an' lots of Clipture," her niece's voice proclaimed proudly as she sat down heavily in her wheelbarrow on the top of some garden produce she had collected. "How much do you know?" Tony asked sceptically. "Oh, lots an' lots, all about poor little Jophez in the bullushes, and his instasting dleams." "Twasn't Jophez," Tony corrected.
'Twasn't for cleanliness I did it, but for coolness. I'd be ashamed to want washing every week or so, like any smutty collier lad." "I wish I might go and dip my head in," said poor little Tom. "It must be as good as putting it under the town pump; and there is no beadle here to drive a chap away." "Thou come along," said Grimes; "what dost want with washing thyself?
"You might have heard tell of it, belike?" "It 'ud ha' happint before my recollections, sir, maybe," said Dan, looking at him perplexedly, "if 'twas apt to ha' been a longish while ago." "'Twasn't long to say," said the old man. He drank the spirits lingeringly, in slow sips, and seemed to sit up straighter as he did so.

"Let us hope the best, and not meet trouble half way." "Yes" said George feebly. "Let us hope the best." "Don't I hear that Thompson has an ointment that cures the red scab?" "So they say." George whistled to his pony. The pony came to him.
