And the two got into a huff. The artist took his sketch-book and went outdoors, and King went to his room to study the guide-books and the map of Virginia. The result was that when the friends met for dinner, King said: "I thought you might do it for me, old boy." And Forbes replied: "Why didn't you say so? I don't care a rap where I go. But it's Richfield afterwards."
By the time they had been a month in the country Allan's use of his arms and shoulders was nearly normal, and Phyllis was having wild hopes, that she confided to no one but Wallis, of even more sweeping betterments. Allan slept much better, from the slight increase of activity, and also perhaps because Phyllis had coaxed him outdoors as soon as the weather became warm, and was keeping him there.
When they get an idea in their heads...." According to the fiction tapes, the colonized worlds of the galaxy vary wildly from each other. In cold and unromantic fact, it isn't so. Space travel is too cheap and sol-type solar systems too numerous to justify the settlement of hostile worlds. There's no point in trying to live where one has to put on special equipment every time he goes outdoors.
She must think presently of getting dinner. The baby slept soundly in her little crib undisturbed by the noise of the wintry gale outdoors. Fanny sighed as she fondly gazed on the chubby little face.

"It is so warm in there," said Dolly; "even with the windows open, that I came outdoors to get the fresh air. Aunt Maggie put my shawl about my shoulders so that I wouldn't take cold. Now, Ben, if you will walk with me to the summer-house yonder, we can sit down by ourselves, finish our talk, and then part forever."
He contracted all the epidemic infections with which he was brought in contact. He lived a very hygienic existence, having excellent food and sleeping outdoors, but still he was often sick. Because of this I came in touch with him as his physician in the hospital, and soon learned to admire him for the fine qualities of his nature.
"It does seem to be getting cool, Sir," said Higgins. "I hadn't noticed it before. I'll close the window, Sir." "Do," said Mr. Coulson. "They call this spring, do they? If it keeps up long I'll go back to Palm Beach. House feels like a morgue." Later Miss Coulson dutifully came in to inquire how the gout was progressing. "'Stantia," said the old man, "how is the weather outdoors?"
"Oh, I didn't mean all that, but a feeling like that, sweet and retired and sort of lonesome?" "Perhaps Miss McDonald means," said Philip, "that there isn't much to feel here except what you see." Miss McDonald looked sharply around at Philip and remarked: "Yes, that's just it. It is very lovely, like almost any outdoors, if you will give yourself up to it.
I want to do things with my hands. I want action. I want to be outdoors." Belding nodded his head as if he understood that, and he began to speak again, cut something short, then went on, hesitatingly: "Gale you could go home again to the old man it'd be all right?" "Mr. Belding, there's nothing shady in my past. The governor would be glad to have me home. That's the only consolation I've got.
The cottage, which was made out of the hull of an old fishing boat, was as pleasant a place to live in as a boy could wish.
