Willin' to listen?" Martin nodded. "This is a small laundry, up country, belongs to Shelly Hot Springs, hotel, you know. Two men do the work, boss and assistant. I'm the boss. You don't work for me, but you work under me. Think you'd be willin' to learn?" Martin paused to think. The prospect was alluring. A few months of it, and he would have time to himself for study.
They have obtained in those counties the provincial name of "Crag," applied particularly to masses of shelly sand which have long been used in agriculture to fertilise soils deficient in calcareous matter.
Her lips were less full, but still He was reminded of the classic ideal of the British Romantic Period, the women sung of by Byron and Keats, Shelly and Moore. She said, "Is there any particular reason why you should be staring at me, Mr. "Captain Mauser," Joe said hurriedly. "I'm afraid I've been rude, Miss Well, I thought I recognized you."
It rests on ancient volcanic rocks, and has been covered by a stream of basalt, which must have entered the sea when the white shelly bed was lying at the bottom. It is interesting to trace the changes, produced by the heat of the overlying lava, on the friable mass, which in parts has been converted into a crystalline limestone, and in other parts into a compact spotted stone.
There can be no doubt in these cases that strata once composed of mud, sand, and gravel, or of clay, marl, and shelly limestone, have for the distance of several yards, and in some instances several hundred feet, been turned into gneiss, mica-schist, hornblende-schist, chlorite- schist, quartz rock, statuary marble, and the rest.

The very spruce-trees seemed to know that it was Sunday, and to point solemnly upward with their dusky fingers; and the small tide-waves that chased each other up on the shelly beach, or broke against projecting rocks, seemed to do it with a chastened decorum, as if each blue-haired wave whispered to his brother, "Be still be still."
Still I see him, upon that wild desolate beach of the ebb tide, I see him leaning against the shelly buttress of a groin, looking down at the poor drowned sailor whose body we presently found. For we found a newly drowned man who had just chanced to miss this great dawn in which we rejoiced. We found him lying in a pool of water, among brown weeds in the dark shadow of the timberings.
The shelly and sandy beds representing these periods in Norfolk and Suffolk are termed provincially Crag, having under the name been long used in agriculture to fertilise soils deficient in calcareous matter, or to render them less stiff and impervious. In Suffolk, the older Pliocene strata called Crag are divisible into the Coralline and the Red Crags, the former being the older of the two.
"I think we'll have to begin with the feeding," said Bruce, as Miss Jinny and Mrs. Shelly, gorgeous in their very best raiment, entered from their bedroom.
