He pressed it, though scarcely with a lover's warmth; and as she walked back to the terrace with Dalibard, the young man struck slowly into the opposite direction, and passing by a gate over a foot-bridge that led from the ha-ha into the park, bent his way towards a lake which gleamed below at some distance, half-concealed by groves of venerable trees rich with the prodigal boughs of summer.
He made a gravel-walk all along the ha-ha that separated his garden from Sir Charles's, and called it "The Heir's Walk." Here the nurse and child used to parade on sunny afternoons. He got an army of workmen, and built a nursery fit for a duke's nine children.
It was one evening in the early summer that, revolving anxious and doubtful thoughts, Ernest sauntered gloomily along his terrace, "And watched with wistful eyes the setting sun." when he perceived a dusty travelling carriage whirled along the road by the ha-ha, and a hand waved in recognition from the open window.
I have looked across the ha-ha till I am weary. I must go and look through that iron gate at the same view, without being able to see it so well." Edmund left the seat likewise.

Half way across the sward, which was divided from the grass land proper by a Ha-ha, she heard the stable clock striking eleven. When Phyl withdrew from the dining-room, Hennessey filled his glass with port, Pinckney, who took no wine, lit a cigarette and the two men drew miles closer to one another in conversation.
"Ha-ha! isn't it humorous the way things happen?" The sun was setting as they first saw the Cornish sea. The sky was swept suddenly clear of mist. The seagulls against the sky were like little crucified angels. The road ran to the shore. The sun had little delicate clouds across its face, like the islands in a Japanese painting.

I reckon I can stand it to cook a meal for you if you can stand it to eat it.
'And she gave you the latch-key, hein? Ha-ha! but you are a wicked old man. And it is strange too. He glanced from me to his reflection in the little mirror over the safe; and his expression said as plainly as words, 'Now, if she had given it to me, one could understand it.
