/-/Hugh Idle loved*D1 to do=IDO061 only [DOwhat was*A1

agreeable, ]and took*D1 no delight (in labor )(of any kind.

)/c/But [ALwhile Hugh was*N1 yet a little boy, ]he was sent*P

away (from home, )and put*P (under the care )(of a very strict

schoolmaster, )[JRwho went*- (by the name )(of Mr. Toil. )]/-

/Those [JMwho knew*D1 him best, ]affirmed*D1 [DOthat Mr. Toil

was*N1 a very worthy character, ]and [DOthat he had done*D1 more

good, both (to children and grown people, )(than anybody else

)(in the world. )]/-/He had,*D1 however, a severe and ugly

countenance; /C/his voice was*A1 harsh; /C/and all his ways and

customs were*A1 disagreeable (to our young friend, )Hugh

Idle.=ANA02 /-/The whole day=U--04 long this terrible old

schoolmaster stalked*- about (among his scholars, )(with a big

cane )(in his hand; )/C/and [ARunless a lad chose*D1 to

attend=IDO080 constantly and quietly (to his book, )]he had*D1 no

chance (of enjoying=GOP051 )a single quiet moment. /-/[DO"This

will never do*- (for me," )]thought*D1 Hugh; /C/"I'll run*- off,

and try*D1 to find=IDO051 my way home."=U--01 /c/So the very next

morning=U--04 off he started,*- (with only some bread and cheese

)(for his breakfast, )and (very little pocket money )to

pay=IAJ041 his expenses. /-/He had gone*D1 but a short distance,

[ARwhen he overtook*D1 a man (of grave and sedate appearance

)trudging=P--080 (at a moderate pace )(along the road. )]/-/"Good

morning, my fine lad!"=D--03 said*D1 the stranger; /C/and his

voice seemed*A2 hard and severe, yet had*D1 a sort (of kindness

)(in it; )/C/"whence do you come*- so early,. !!!!!!!!
