Considerable distress too prevailed, as the spirit of rebellion had spread to all the districts near the capital, and the Brunai people who had settled in them were compelled to flee for their lives, leaving their property in the hands of the insurgents, while the people of the city were unable to follow their usual avocations trading, planting, sago washing and so forth, the Brunai River, as has been pointed out, producing nothing itself.
Now I go by the seed catalogue, planting, not after the dish, as if my only vision were a garden peeled and in the pot, but after the Bush., Peck, Qt., Pt., Lb., Oz., Pkg., so many pounds to the acre, instead of so many seeds to the meal.
It is thickly furnished with neat and small deep-green, leathery leaves, and pretty, waxy white flowers, pendulous at the branch tips. Planted in free, sandy peat, it thrives vigorously, and soon forms a neat specimen of nearly a yard in height. It is a very desirable hardy species, and one that can be confidently recommended for ornamental planting.

Joyce's interest was keen enough now.
This I found was fairly senile in its worthless decrepitude. My expenditure was something prodigious. Yes, "planting time" was a nightmare in broad daylight, but as I look back, it seems a rosy dream, compared with the prolonged agonies of buying a horse! All my friends said I must have a horse to truly enjoy the country, and it seemed a simple matter to procure an animal for my own use.

In the flying leap of the leg lies the skill of the art; in turning the adversary upside down lies its ferocity; in planting a straight blow with the fist lies its rapidity; and in deftly holding the adversary face upwards lies its gentleness."
Him also his new Majesty loves much; and knows that, without some official living, poor Jordan has no resource. That also was perhaps about the real amount of amiable Jordan.
