swain

The unusual procedure by Swain of reviewing documents "ex parte" amounted to the judge going an extra mile to be fair.

Thomas, for that was the swain's name, made an assignation one night to meet Jenny in the orchard at Allanbank.

"Yes, he is to have it," cried Mr. Swain, with a violence to bring on a fit of coughing.

I sat with Mr. Swain many an hour that spring, with Patty sewing at the window open to the garden.

The coroner's jury returned a verdict that Swain was guilty of your father's death.

It was a resolute Tilda who awaited her swain at the kitchen door that night.
