Few words or phrases have power to excite
greater variety OF emotions than the modestmo-
nysyllables at the head of this chapter. Your
neighbOr's house is on fre---and all out IS
sounded, in hundred different keys, pitched
upon the mental state of the shouters. from the
low cultural of the pursy old fife-warden who,
as he waddes towards the scene of the confa-
grafton, hears all Out, and mutters I" it is ever
so before | get there" to the qui uiua of the
boyish multitude who find fun In shouting aDy
thing.
Al Out is heard with Joy by the honest man,
whose comfortable dwelling but now seemed

zens, stands an almost scatheless victim rescu-
ed from its fury.

4 and fnds her condemned entertain half a

In short, | might give you thousand ins.an-

and justifes my opening remarks but lest your
patience should be all out, will Just tell YOU
few instances in which all out affects me Pc
culiqrly, and mortally hate the sound of the
words.
