I'm so tied up I can't cut down a stick more, and that's a "consequence" of having the property so deucedly well settled; I wish I'd never had any ancestors. Ay, laugh, lad! it does me good to see thee laugh a bit, after Osborne's long face, which always grows longer at sight o' me! 'Look here, father! said Roger suddenly, 'I'll manage somehow about the money for the works.
And from the paths the gardeners weed out every flower that grows, and in the garden they cut off all flowers that grow tall, saying: "It is customary," and "it is written," and "this hath ever been," or "that hath not been before." Therefore Uldoon saw that not in that city might he discover the Secret of the gods.
This is one, and the most remarkable way, in which the wild apple is propagated; but commonly it springs up at wide intervals in woods and swamps, and by the sides of roads, as the soil may suit it, and grows with comparative rapidity. Those which grow in dense woods are very tall and slender. I frequently pluck from these trees a perfectly mild and tamed fruit.
Her voice was so sweet and low that William Douglas, listening to it, wished that she would speak on for ever. "The hour grows late," he said, remembering himself. "You must have far to ride. Let me be your escort homewards if you have none worthier than I." "Alas," she answered, smiling yet more subtly, "I have no home near by. My home is very far and over many turbulent seas.

How God's punishment invisibly grows from a tiny seed to a giant life!
In the town, the inhabitants burn the small wood which grows in thickets, and for which they send out Indians, in large numbers, every few days. Fortunately, the climate is so fine that they have no need of a fire in their houses, and only use it for cooking.
Fancy, then, one hundred millions of animals, each of which grows to the weight of fifty or sixty pounds, being produced every year, and then the increase in production which these would make if left to themselves!
Does it not savor something of Devildom, and a too great familiarity with that lower Torrid Zone, to entertain such a proposition cool-ly? when such a word grows suddenly obsolete in such seasons? Perhaps we are tending to those final, fiery days of which Miller is a prophet.
Why was it that everything she touched seemed to become contaminated? "There's no use staying any longer," she said. "Howard doesn't like it." "I didn't say so," he interrupted. "There's something about the place that grows on you. If I felt I could afford it " "At any rate," declared Honora, trying to control her voice, "I've decided, now I've seen it a second time, that I don't want it.
