"That is the cooing of wood-pigeons or doves," said Mr. Fairchild. "And look, Emily, there they are! They are sitting upon the branch of a tree; there are two of them." "Oh, I see them!" said Emily. "Oh, how soft and pretty they look! But now the noise of the cart has frightened them; they are flown away." By this time the cart had passed through the wood, and they were come in sight of Mrs.
And these dreams must live the dreams of the young gods as the dreams of the old gods had endured. Because men had died to make others free, freedom must be the song on the lips of all men. He thought of Randy's story. The Trumpeter Swan was only a stuffed bird in a glass case. But once he had spread his wings flown high in the upper air.
Once, when his demeanour towards the new servant had strongly suggested that he thought her name was Bathsheba, Mrs Nixon herself had `flown out' at him, and there had been a scene which the doctor had soothed by discreet professional explanations. Maggie's difficulty was that he was always there, always on the spot.
If, any sunny forenoon, she had spread a little pair of wings and flown away before my eyes, I don't think I should have regarded it as much more than I had had reason to expect. We used to walk about that dim old flat at Yarmouth in a loving manner, hours and hours. The days sported by us, as if Time had not grown up himself yet, but were a child too, and always at play.

The year has flown so fast that the apple-trees have dropped nearly all their bloom, and in "long meadow" the "daggers" are out early, beside the narrow bright streams.

He knew what the sale of that desert tract must mean to her; how high her hopes had flown since the payment of the bonus.
