Then to these, that were dwelling aloof from the Dale, Fared the wild-wind a-telling the worst of the tale; As men bathed in the morning they saw in the pool The image of scorning, the throne of the fool.

"That's what I've been a-telling her," said Cynthy, "but she wa'n't a mind to listen to me." But the two little arms embraced aunt Miriam's cloak and wrappers, and the little face was hid there still, and Fleda's answer was a half smothered ejaculation. "I am so glad you are come, dear aunt Miriam!" Aunt Miriam kissed her again, and again repeated her request.
That had happened to him which had never happened to him before. Of the sixty policemen in Bursley, just he had been chosen by fate to fit the socket of destiny. He was startled. "What's this, what's this, Mr. Povey?" he turned hastily to Samuel. "What's this as Mr. Councillor Povey is a-telling me?" "You come in, sergeant," said Daniel.
Making the child naughty, when she'd be good if you'd let her. You shanna have a morsel o' cake if you behave so."

"What do you think Dinah's been a-telling me since dinner-time?" Mrs.
She were one of them dressed-up baggages with long earrings and a yeller handkercher round her head, a-telling fortunes; coming round the poor, silly gals with her long tongue and sly ways. She went in here, too. Mr Robins guessed, though he could not see the jerk of the thumb in his direction.
You a total abstainer, Mr Frank, and me a-coming arter you. I think I sees you a-telling James to put the water on the table, and then you says, `The water stands with you, Colonel Coleman." "Don't talk so absurdly," said Frank, amused in spite of himself at the idea of the water-party, with himself for the host.
That was why she, of all the people in the little village, did not realize that her boys often drank more than was good for them always managed, by clever devices, to escape her eye. "A glass of harmless stuff now and again," she would say with a toss of her head; "what's that but a proof of the lads' self-control? That's what I'm a-telling you: make your lads strong and self-respecting."
"Nothin a-tall, that ain't. But the li'l green pea ain't under that shell. Listen here, Swing, old-timer, I got a long and gashly tale of wickedness to pour into those lily-white mule ears of yores.

"Leave him alone, I know what he's a-coming to," Altamont said, laughing to Strong, who remonstrated with him, "and leave me alone; I know what I'm a-telling, very well. I was officer on board an Indiaman, so I was; I traded to New South Wales, so I did, in a ship of my own, and lost her. I became officer to the Nawaub, so I did; only me and my royal master have had a difference, Strong that's it.
"Is he very very badly?" asked Craig with well-feigned interest. "Well," replied the man, a little mollified by a good cigar which I produced, "don't you go a-telling her, but if he says the name Minna once a day it is a thousand times.
