These footprints blended confusedly, leading up to the door of the house, disappearing in the rank growth all about. And crossing these human trails from one side to the other of the narrow island left by the rising waters, there ran a strange and distinct mark, as though one had swept here with a mighty broom, or had dragged across the ground repeatedly some soft and heavy body!
There she stood facing him with her broom in her hands as if she were bringing him a rifle, while the macaw continued bowing. But at the end of a few seconds the soldier began to feel embarrassed at this attention, and he walked away quietly so as not to look as if he were beating a retreat. But he came back.
You've lost a lot, maybe; but you can't lose a thing you never had." The Dago half-smiled. "Yais," he said. "You are mos' wise, Dan. But, Dan! Dan!" "Yes. What?" "If it had been true, Dan dat beautiful town an' all my dream! If it had been true!" "Shove along wi' that broom," advised Dan. "The mate's lookin'."
Madame Fusellier was the first to speak: "Monsieur Jacques is not at home." And, as Therese remained silent, immovable, Fusellier came near her with his broom, hiding with his left hand his pipe behind his back "Monsieur Jacques has not yet come home." "I will wait for him," said Therese. Madame Fusellier led her to the parlor, where she lighted the fire.
Further north stretched wide heaths gay with broom, and vast forests of walnut and chestnut, through which roamed hordes of pigs, greedy after the fallen chestnuts that made them so fat, or burrowing about the roots of the trees for the truffles growing just out of sight.
This resuscitatory operation was called the "Potata"; but thinking our long comrade sufficiently lengthy without additional stretching, we declined potataing him. Presently the physician was spied coming along the Broom Road at a great rate, and so absorbed in the business of locomotion, that he heeded not the imprudence of being in a hurry in a tropical climate.
Dark-skinned Shadow looked at him silently with white-rimmed eyes. Then Shadow turned and disappeared, as only Shadow could. Hanging up the broom, Happy waddled to the iron-barred gate that prevented entrance to a downward-plunging ramp. He pressed a button beside it and waited. He looked out the window beside the gate.
Randal looked sad and convinced. But if Leonard had heard Dick Avenel, what would have been his amaze? Dick Avenel rail against competition! Think there could be too much of it! "Of course heaven and earth are coming together," said the spider, when the housemaid's broom invaded its cobweb.
"We'll want to clean up a bit," said he; "got a broom? I'll raise the dust a bit while you're out sending that wire." "You'll find one in the cellar, I guess, but your clothes " "Oh, that's all right. Where's the cellar?" "Underneath," Graham told him simply, taking down a battered hat from a hook behind the counter. "I know; but how do I get there?"
The laburnum is pleasant enough in S. John's Wood or the Regent's Park in May a tame domesticated thing of brightness amid smoke and dust. But it is another joy to see it flourishing in its own home, clothing acres of the mountain-side in a very splendour of spring-colour, mingling its paler blossoms with the golden broom of our own hills, and with the silver of the hawthorn and wild cherry.
