Then something uprose within him, and told him that 'a man’s ...

    Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
    'If you want to whip me, uncle, you may do it. I don't much mind.' Put in this form, it was impossible to carry out his intentions; and so Mr. Benson told the lad he might go-that he would speak to him another time.

They were usually brought in with tea; but ...
