I've lived next farm to him for thirty years, so I ought to know. But he's queer sartainly not like other people kind of unsociable. He don't care for a thing 'cept dogs and reading and mooning round woods and fields. That ain't natural, you know. But I must say he's a good farmer. He's got the best farm in Bayside, and that's a real nice house he put up on it.
Uncle Dick could no more help bringing delight into the lives of his associates than could the sunshine or the west wind or any other of the best boons of nature. I had been in Bayside three weeks before I met him, although his farm adjoined the one where I boarded and I passed at a little distance from his house every day in my short cut across the fields to school.
He also caught a fish over the stern, while Ken was loading up at Bayside. Then, to crown the day's delight, under the door at Applegate, when they returned, was thrust a silver-edged note from the Maestro, inviting them all to supper at his house, in honor of the occasion. The Maestro's house wore always a mantle of gentle aloofness, like something forgotten among its over-grown garden paths.
I will be content to wait through long years until you can claim me. I I have been so happy since your letters came!" He put his arms around her and drew her head close to his. Their lips met. The Story of Uncle Dick I had two schools offered me that summer, one at Rocky Valley and one at Bayside.
They had soon concluded that little Jeff Miller was a very good playmate for Sara. He was gentle, well-behaved, and manly. Sara never went to the district school which Jeff attended; she had her governess at home. With no other boy or girl in Bayside did she form any friendship, but her loyalty to Jeff never wavered. As for Jeff, he worshipped her and would have done anything she commanded.
Shingle Point, Blackstrap Bay, the Devil's Tower, O'Hara's Folly, Bayside Barrier, and Jumper's Bastion the names were all redolent of the Portsmouth Hard; and I almost anticipated a familiar hail at every moment from the open door of "The Nut," and an inquiry as to what cheer from the fog-Babylon.
"Besides, there are only two in Bayside, and it's hard to locate either one when you want them. I guess we can manage alone." "Yes, I would rather not notify the police if it can be avoided," said Professor Henderson. The searching party hurried along the country highway, which was now deserted, as it was quite dark.
But even the joy of April on the bayside was shadowed when the mail came to Applegate Farm that day. The United States mail was represented, in the environs of Asquam, by a preposterously small wagon, more like a longitudinal slice of a milk-cart than anything else, drawn by two thin, rangy horses that seemed all out of proportion to their load.
To meet this desperate situation and the enemy's greatly superior forces, General Wood decided not to advance against the Germans, but to intrench his army across the western end of Long Island, with his left flank resting on Fort Totten, near Bayside, and his nine-mile front extending through Creedmore, Rosedale, and Valley Stream, where his right flank would be guarded from sea attack by the big guns of Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook, which would hold the German fleet at a distance.
There's no time to lose. It's after four, now, and as soon as it's daylight You must have a boat somewhere about?" "Yes, sir. Mr. Rutton 'ad me 'ire a little power launch before 'e came down.
