The inn itself is gray with age, the roof sagging pleasantly here and there; and an old wooden gallery runs the length of each wing, the guest-chambers of the upper story opening upon it like the deck-rooms of a steamer, with boxes of tulips and hyacinths along the gallery railings and window ledges for the gayest of border-lines.
"And the kettles never once bumped the earthen pot eh?" asked Mr. Phipps mocking. "You forget," said Bessie, "I'm a little kettle myself now;" and she laughed with the gayest assurance. That respite till September was indeed worth much to Bessie. Her mind was gently broken in to changes. Mr. Fairfax vanished from the scene, and Lady Latimer appeared on it more frequently.
And yet it was said that in her first youth Mademoiselle de Rochemont had been as gay and fond of pleasure as either of her brothers.

Thus it came to pass that in spite of the sorrow at his heart, Mr Arabin was apparently the gayest of the party.

Perhaps the scarlet cotinga is the richest of the five, and is one of those birds which are found in the deepest recesses of the forest.
"I don't know, unless to Saratoga." "Victorine said," remarked Adeline, "that a large number of distinguished visiters were to be there, and that it was thought the season would be the gayest spent for some time." "I suppose we will have to go, then," said Emily. "I am ready," responded Adeline. "And so am I," said Florence. That evening Mr. Ludlow was graver and more silent than usual.
