When these were planted and watered, my garden looked very gay and full of plants, and then I discovered the mould came down for want of support at the edges; I therefore went and picked up pieces of rock of sufficient size to make a border and hold up the mould, and now all was complete, and I had nothing to do but to go on watering them daily.
And you must go like a derned fool and leave these yer things behind you in the bresh," he went on querulously, lifting Madison Clay's dust-coat, hat, and shotgun from his horse, which stood saddled at the door. "Luckily I picked them up in the woods comin' here. Ye ain't got more than time to get over the state line and among your folks thar afore they'll be down on you. Hustle, old man!
"Yes. Frederica, your hand with the pocket-handkerchief, it is not quite the thing." "Why not?" "You hold it like a New York lady." "How should I hold it?" "Like a French queen, whose Austrian fingers may hold anything any way." This was Hamilton's dictum. "But how do I hold it?" "You have picked it up in the middle, and show all the flower work in the corners."

Eavesdrapping is her trade; she was fotch up on it, and her ears fit a key-hole, like a bung plugs a barrel. She has eavesdrapped that hankchiff chat of our'n somehow.

"Oh, Tom, are you hurt?" she shrieked. "Not much," he answered. "But Dick Dick, where are you?" "Here, in the conservatory. Crabtree just jumped through the glass!" Dora ran into the little apartment, which Mrs. Stanhope had just begun to fill with flowers for the coming winter. Tom came behind her, carrying a poker he had picked up. "Is he out of sight?" asked Tom.
