It was dark in the room when Peter awoke, but he knew it was morning by the salt smell which he thought came into the room from the cove beyond Bloombury pastures, until he roused in his bed and knew it for the smell of the lagoons. He looked out to see the beginning of rose light on the world and understood that he was called.
The tall trees are becoming bare; the ground is red with the fallen leaves; through the branches the blue-winged jay flies, screaming harshly; you can smell the damp and resinous odors of the ferns.
"May I smell it whenever I like, Aunt Grizzel?" "We shall see," replied her aunt. "It isn't every little girl, you know, that we could trust to come into the great saloon alone." "No," said Griselda meekly. Miss Grizzel led the way to a door opposite to that by which they had entered. She opened it and passed through, Griselda following, into a small ante-room.

The worst effect of a war, I am inclined to believe, is the excuse it offers every man who fought in it to fall into bad habits." "Oh, it's Uncle Tucker's pipe you smell," replied Christopher, with a laugh, as he rose from his chair. "I detest the stuff and always did." "I suppose I ought to be thankful for it," said Mrs.
