This morning, if it will interest you, I propose to take you into my confidence." The eagerness with which Frank greeted this proposal showed that for him the story would have no lack of interest. "Let us sit down under this tree," said Henry Morton, pointing to a horse-chestnut, whose dense foliage promised a pleasant shelter from the sun's rays.
The two disks, one of crown glass and the other of flint, must be not only of perfect transparency, but absolutely homogeneous through and through, to avoid inequality of refraction, and thus cause all rays passing through them to meet in the same focus. It was only about the beginning of the century that flint disks of more than two or three inches diameter could be made.
He arose and looked into the garden below. When he had left, a white covering was spread over every thing and the sun's rays fell coldly upon snow and ice. Now there was fresh foliage upon trees and shrubs, and the perfume from newly-blown roses came up to greet his willing senses, and the little girls were playing under the thick shade.
Bernard followed her, and they went on together for some time in silence. "The path first led them down into a deep hollow, through the bottom of which ran a pure stream of water, which had its source in the hills above.

"What?" "About my being a help to you!" "It will not be the first time," said he smiling, "nor the second. Your little hand first held up a glass to gather the scattered rays of truth that could not warm me into a centre where they must burn." "Very innocently," said Fleda with a little unsteady feeling of voice. "Very innocently," said Mr. Carleton smiling.
Keep your eyes open and poke about with your feet and hands, and you can't go wrong. The paper's just a shade lighter than the grass. Remember!" Noreen flew off again to move a chair for an old lady who wished to escape the rays of the sun, and once more Darsie was left to her own resources.

The feeling that these stones, wearied as they were with their long duration, might still be thoughtful, still mindful of their past, grows less less than it was a few moments before, far less than during the preceding blue phantasmagoria.
