'Where are you lunching? 'At Brooks', with my father. 'Oh, then I'll walk there with you. They struck across the park, and talk fell on a recent small set-back which had happened to a regiment with which they were both well acquainted. Chicksands shrugged his shoulders. 'I've heard some details at the War Office. Just ten minutes' rot! The Colonel stopped it with his revolver.
Phineas knew nothing of these brooks; but Bonebreaker had gone gallantly over two, and now that there came a third in the way, it was to be hoped that he might go gallantly over that also. Phineas, at any rate, had no power to decide otherwise. As long as the brute would go straight with him he could sit him; but he had long given up the idea of having a will of his own.
And this was the sweet peace of Daphne! This the life's end of her ministers! For this kings and princes gave of their revenues! For this a crafty priesthood subordinated nature her birds and brooks and lilies, the river, the labor of many hands, the sanctity of altars, the fertile power of the sun!
Had it been only that? He had not cared for books, or school, and all efforts to tie him down to study were unavailing. But he knew well the books of running brooks. No dry botanical text-book or manual could have taught him all he now knew of plants and flowers and trees.

Hay ward translated the "Faust" of Goethe into prose; but let any one compare the Hymn of the Archangels and other of the more highly-wrought passages, as rendered by him, with any of the better translations in verse, with that of Mr. Brooks for example, to perceive at once the insufficiency, the flatness and meagreness of even so verbally faithful a prose version.
There were some things he did not quite understand, and this will explain. I shall also send a copy to Carter Brooks, who came out handsomly with an apoligy this morning in a letter and a ten pound box of Candy. His letter explains everything. H. is a real person and did not come out of a Cabinet. Carter recognized the photograph as being one of a Mr.
We met with a somewhat heavy gale, in which she was fearfully knocked about, and had we not kept the pumps going she would have foundered to a certainty. As I wanted to see you and other friends; I took horse and rode night and day to get here. The business I have got to speak of brooks of no delay, and is such as you and I can talk about best alone."
The treetops waved a majestic welcome, and rustled their thousand leaves like brooks over our heads. But the bloom and fragrance of nature had become secondary to us, though we were lovers of it. In my husband's face and eyes I saw a fairer world, of which the other was a faint copy. I fast ceased to represent Lilias Fay, under the influence of happiness, peace, and rest. We explored the woods.
