He sat down for a few minutes on the warm grass, giving himself up to the idle pleasure of watching the birds skimming through the clear blue sky, the bees bouncing in and out of the buttercups, the varicoloured butterflies floating like blown flower-petals on the breeze, and he heard a distant bell striking the half-hour after eleven.
Bundle was to be her successor I gathered from allusions to "your great fat bouncing women that would eat their heads off; but as to cleaning out a nursery let them see!" But her most masterly stroke was a certain conversation with Mrs. Cadman carried on in my hearing. "Have you ever notice, Mrs.
She grew bitter as she saw a couple of ladies pass, holding their demitrains in the latest city fashion. Another woman went by pushing a baby carriage, in which sat a child just about as big as her own. It was bouncing itself up and down on the long slender springs and laughing and shouting.
