"He is no better than anybody else that I can see, and he is beginning to give himself airs," said Mrs. Flood Jones. Mary made no answer; but she went up into her room and swore before a figure of the Virgin that she would be true to Phineas for ever and ever, in spite of her mother, in spite of all the world, in spite, should it be necessary, even of himself.
It is a mere illusion of sense that the past is gone utterly. 'Thou carriest them away, as with a flood. We speak of it as irrevocable, unalterable, that dreadful past. It is solemnly true that 'ye shall no more return that way. But there is a deeper truth in the converse thought that the apparently transient is permanent, that nothing human ever dies, that the past is present.
The Indians were removed beyond the Mississippi; the lands they had occupied were brought into market, and a flood of emigration poured into these new acquisitions.

Eat, and I will take you to the general." They offered him Mexican food, but he had no appetite, and he ate little. He stretched and tensed his limbs in order to restore the full flood of circulation, and announced that he was ready. Urrea led the way, and Ned followed with a guard of four men about him. The boy had eyes and ears for everything around him, but he looked most toward the Alamo.
How Glooskap changed Certain Saucy Indians into Rattlesnakes You know At-o-sis, the Snake? Well, the worst of all is Rattlesnake. Long time ago the Rattlesnakes were saucy Indians. They were very saucy. They had too much face. They could not be put down by much, and they got up for very little. When the great Flood was coming Glooskap told them about it. They said they did not care.
The mountain laurel, the elders, the sarvis bushes, the wild roses which, a few days before, had been fragrant and beautiful with blossom and leaf and musical with birds, had disappeared.

Just look at the shimmer of the moon on the sands! Ain't it great?" Hand in hand, they strolled on the beach and bathed in the silent flood of the moonlit night no prying eyes near save the stars of the friendly southern skies. "The moon seems different down here, Jim!" she whispered. "It is different," he answered with boyish enthusiasm. "It's all so still and white!"
I stood and let the flood dash over me as long as I could and then with a sob I sank on the floor and rested my head on the window seat and began to weep as only women such as I know how to weep.

In short, we went merrily up the river with the flood and the wind blowing still fresh at E. and E.N.E. We stemmed the ebb easily also, especially while the river continued broad and deep; but when we came past the swelling of the tide, and had the natural current of the river to go against, we found it too strong for us, and began to think of quitting our bark; but the prince would by no means agree to that, for, finding we had on board pretty good store of roping made of mats and flags, which I described before, he ordered all the prisoners which were on shore to come and take hold of those ropes, and tow us along by the shore side; and as we hoisted our sail too, to ease them, the men ran along with us at a very great rate.
