One of the party had a watch about the size and shape of a reasonable Ribstone pippin, jammed into his waistcoat-pocket, which he carefully compared with the clocks at St. Clement’s and the New Church, the illuminated clock at Exeter ‘Change, the clock of St. Martin’s Church, and the clock of the Horse Guards. When they at last arrived in St.
So, being desperate, she resolved to chance everything. It was under the Golden Pippin tree, rocking herself back and forth in the long grass, that she made her plans. Straight on the heels of them she went to the gardener's little boy. "Lend me no, I mean give me your best clothes," she said, with gentle imperiousness. It was not a time to waste words.
Wardle. 'There ain't a better spot o' ground in all Kent, sir, said the hard-headed man with the pippin face; 'there ain't indeed, sir I'm sure there ain't, Sir. The hard-headed man looked triumphantly round, as if he had been very much contradicted by somebody, but had got the better of him at last.
If the operations are well performed so that there are no imperfect unions, and if the pruning is judicious, the tree may be grafted many times, in whole or in part. I have said that my father brought apple seeds from New England and that the resulting seedlings were top-grafted. One of these trees was early top-worked to "Holland Pippin," which seldom bore.
There were six days left to practise in only six. How the Little Girl practised! It was always quite alone by herself. She did it in a sensible, orderly way, the leaps and strides first, whoops next, whistle last. The gardener's little boy's best clothes she kept hidden in the long grass, under the Golden Pippin tree, and on the fourth day she put them on. Oh, the agony of the fourth day!
"You are! you blessed angel!" cried Alicia, warmly; "you're a wonder! a marvel! a peach! a pippin! Oh, you're just all there is of it! Did she REALLY say that?" "Oh, you want to know what she REALLY said," and Dolly's head went on one side, as she began to tease again. "Of course, that's what she really said," interposed Dotty, who didn't want any more high words.

The next name I come upon, in this rainy-day service, starts a pleasant picture to my mind, not offset by a British landscape, but by one of our own New-England hills.
To get that, letter sent would be the laying of a phantom, the rehabilitation of commonsense. Now that this silence was in the throes of being broken, he felt curiously tender towards Pippin, without the hero-worship of old days, but with a queer protective feeling. After all, he was different from other men.
His collection of paintings, consisting of about forty of the most exquisite specimens of the art, purchased by the British government, on his death, formed the nucleus of the National Gallery. As the friend and adviser of the emperor's son, Pippin, he assisted for a while in the government of Italy, and was later sent on three important embassies to the pope, in 792, 794 and 796.
One gets spoiled; it's big and silent here. What should I go back to? I don't seem to realise." Scorrier thought of Hemmings. "'Tis a bit cramped there, certainly," he muttered.
