Examples
Mrs. Yeld, the bishop's wife, was sitting next to the priest, and was in truth somewhat afraid of her neighbour.
Then he saw Aunt Yeld stop in a deep pool, and sink her whole body under the water, leaving nothing but her head above it.
And immediately after, old Aunt Yeld came up in the greatest distress, and lay down close to them.
Then the hounds came within five yards of them, but still they lay fast, till poor Aunt Yeld jumped up in despair and ran off.
And he remembered Aunt Yeld's words, "May you never know what it is to look for help and to find none."
