Once he galloped so far away that Europa feared lest she might never see him again; so, setting up her childish voice, she called him back. "Come back, pretty creature!" she cried. "Here is a nice clover blossom." And then it was delightful to witness the gratitude of this amiable bull, and how he was so full of joy and thankfulness that he capered higher than ever.

Ricolleck one little chap that didn't look like he was strong enough to pull up a handful o' white clover snatched up a flag, butted his way to the front and put his colors on the breastworks o' the inimy." "I thank you," Tom replied. "But you don't seem to be astonished that the preacher wasn't scared." "Who, Jim? Oh, no. Jim's a Starbuck."

At the same time something swept him off the clover-top; and he barely managed to save himself from a bad fall. Somewhere he could hear a loud buzz, as of several angry voices. But he did not care to show himself enough to find out what was happening. For the time being he was content to stay snugly hidden among the thick clover leaves. After a while the uproar ceased.

Helen's, and there was such a strong impression prevailing in the family as to its being a rough sort of newly-settled place, Clover and Katy judged it wise to pack a large box of stores to go out by freight: oatmeal and arrowroot and beef-extract and Albert biscuits, things which Philly ought to have, and which in a wild region might be hard to come by.

Carr told them to put on their hats, and get ready to walk with him to the school. Clover took one arm, and Katy the other, and the three passed between some lead-colored posts, and took one of the diagonal paths which led across the common. "That's the house," said Dr. Carr, pointing. "It isn't the one you picked out, Clover," said Katy. "No," replied Clover, a little disappointed.

You would have supposed that Helen was her own child, as she lay on the sofa, with such bright beaming eyes, while the pretty thing turned round and round to exhibit her finery." "There certainly never was any one like Cousin Helen. She is embodied sympathy," said Clover. "Now, Katy, I want you to look. We are just turning into our own road."

Carlotty had huge feet, indeed, Carlotty "toed in," for that matter; but her face shone with delight; her eyes glistened, and so did her teeth; and when she waved her ebony hands and flitted among the children, she did it as airily as any real butterfly that ever danced over a field of clover blossoms. And if Patsy's joy was great in the play, it was greater still in the work that came afterward.

He did not seem positively hurt, she said, but as he would not eat the lovely clover under his nose where he lay in Molly's crib, it was clear that the circulation of his animal spirits had been too rudely checked. Thereupon Dorothy begged to be taken to the nursery, for, being familiar with all sorts of tame animals, she knew rabbits well.

At the supper table Pill was "easy as an old shoe"; ate with his knife, talked about fatting hogs, suggested a few points on raising clover, told of pioneer experiences in Michigan, and soon won them hired man and all to a most favorable opinion of himself. But he did not trench on religious matters at all.
