After all, it was the first time she had been away from home, and after the first excitement and novelty had worn off, her heart, she told herself laughingly, "harked back to Dixie." It seemed the Dean had written to her father on the night of her arrival, and this was a surprise to Kit. "It is a great relief to us all to know that you have made such a favorable impression," Mr.
The names along this bit of river awakened her interest; Blackbird Island was clearly described: Buffalo Island harked back many years into tradition; Dogtooth Island was a matter of river shape; but Saladin, Tow Head and Orient Field stirred her imagination, for they might reveal the scene of steamboat disasters or some surveyor's memory of the Arabian Nights.
But it was only for a moment, for when I came nearer I saw that the colour which had caught my eye came from a multitude of closed gentians the blossoms which never open into perfection growing so closely together that their blended promise had seemed like a single flower. So I harked back again, slanting across the meadow, to find the road. But it had vanished.
Scott's influence, somewhat checked during the growth of these reputations and the succession of fertile and accomplished writers on both sides of the Atlantic, including the introspective analysts of the past fifteen years, has within a decade been rising again, and has lately burst forth in a new group of historical romancers who seem to have "harked back" from the subjective fad of our day to Scott's healthy, adventurous objectivity.

The colossal fact of our history is that we have made the religion of Jesus Christ our religion.
But in answer the mite only harked back to his old refrain. "I want do d'an'ma," he said with stolid defiance, unmoved alike by his shaking or the nurse's expostulation.

"Yes, I do, but it was not His will that I should die last night. I have told you that it was not fated," she answered. "Quite so.
