The masculine absence of drapery reveals processes, and thereby destroys results. Once upon a time, long before the Flood, the clergyman of a country-village, possessed with such a zeal as Paul bore record of concerning Israel, conceived it his duty to "make a note" of sundry young members of his flock who had met for a drive and a supper, with a dance fringed upon the outskirts.
And now, as the weeks passed on, even Boston was rumbling with the thunder of the coming storm. Israel Putnam, having driven to Boston a flock of sheep, the gift to the poor of Boston from his Connecticut town, became the lion of the day. Meeting on the Common some of his old friends in the regular army, they chaffed him on the military situation.
I set Davie down, and, holding his hand, breathed again. There was a scurry and a rush, a splash or two in the water, and then back came Oscar with his innocent tongue hanging out like a blood-red banner of victory. He was followed by Scroggie, who was exploding with laughter. Oscar came up wagging his tail, and looking as pleased as if he had restored obedience to a flock of unruly sheep.
Instead of millions of leaping lambs, ignorant of why they leaped, they were a flock of sheep lifting up one leg and asking whether it was or was not worth their while to lift another." The words were followed by a silence, broken only by the scratching of the quill with which Mr. Stone was writing.
And the more detestable his actions are to the citizens the more satellites and the greater devotion in them will he require? Certainly. And who are the devoted band, and where will he procure them? They will flock to him, he said, of their own accord, if lie pays them. By the dog! I said, here are more drones, of every sort and from every land. Yes, he said, there are.
He shaved every day, wore a frock-coat and a high hat to church where for ten years he was the only male member of the Episcopalian flock and Mrs. Conklin told the women that altogether he was a credit to his sex and his family a remark which was passed about ribaldly in town for a dozen years, though Mortimer Conklin never knew that he was the subject of a town joke.
Fra Pacifico had stood with his strong feet planted on the earth, over the edge of a rocky precipice by which the high-road passed and seized a furious horse dragging a cart holding six poor souls below. Fra Pacifico had found a shepherd of Corellia one of his flock struck down by fever on a rocky peak some twenty miles distant, and he had carried him on his back, and laid him on his bed at home.
'Tis a bleak wild, but green and bright In the summer warmth and the mid-day light, There's the hum of the bee and the chirp of the wren, And the dash of the brook from the older glen. There's the sound of the bell from the scattered flock, And the shade of the beach lies cool on the rock, And fresh from the west is the free-wind's breath. There is nothing here that speaks of death. Bryant.
Hardly had I beheld them, when they passed into the shadow of the rocks and vanished. To comfort myself for truly I would fain have gazed a while longer I made acquaintance with a flock of beach-birds. These little citizens of the sea and air preceded me by about a stone's-throw along the strand, seeking, I suppose, for food upon its margin.
Peterson and Jacker went ahead dangling cabbages; the dog entered into the spirit of the thing with enthusiasm and worked the flock in his very best style; and so the boys of Waddy, hot, excited, very frightened of probable pursuers, but wondrously elated, swept the great drove of goats up the road in the light of the waning moon.
