Kidnapped by Stevenson, Robert Louis View in context
The master's wife would go on a visit to the country in a few days, and there would be nothing to interfere with the plan; the master always pre- pared himself for great occasions by getting pretty well fuddled, and the sign-painter's boy said that when the dominie had reached the proper condition on Examina- tion Evening he would "manage the thing" while he napped in his chair; then he would have him awakened at the right time and hurried away to school.
Tom Sawyer by Twain, Mark View in context
Three neighbours surrounded her when the dominie administered the Extreme Unction.
