The traveller who has never slept in the woods has missed an enjoyable sensation. A clump of trees makes a fine leafy post-bedstead, and to awake in the morning amid a grove of sheltering nodding oaks is lung-inspiring.

Of after-existence there is said to be evidence, or rather testimony, in assurances of those who are in present enjoyment of it if it is enjoyable.

When George reached the wood many of the men were already invisible. He found Watson leaning against a tree, pale and breathless. "What's the matter?" asked the boy anxiously. "Nothing," said Watson.
Douglas congratulated herself on having found such an enjoyable companion; and Mr. Sumner felt grateful to her for enhancing his sister's happiness. But to-day a change had taken place in the satisfactory tide of affairs. Mr.
This was a pleasure which perhaps the whole day's visit might not afford, which certainly did not belong to the present half-hour; but the very sight of Mrs. Weston, her smile, her touch, her voice was grateful to Emma, and she determined to think as little as possible of Mr. Elton's oddities, or of any thing else unpleasant, and enjoy all that was enjoyable to the utmost.
