It is a pretty dreary place, if you have to be there long.”,Now, when the man fell into the pit he was hurt, for the hole was deep. After a time he tried to climb out, but he was so badly bruised that he could not do so. He sat there and waited, thinking that here he must surely die of hunger.,"Anything I can tell him, Billy?" asked Erie, noticing his reluctance.,“Oh, John!

The minute he showed himself in the street, people called to him and asked him if he wasn’t awfully glad.，While the strains of this enlivening classic were issuing from the asthmatic instrument, Moses and Betty in the more secular atmosphere of the hall were trying to fit the time to “Old Dan Tucker” their favorite dance."I don't know if you call it business," he said, after a pause.
