"Well, Adam," said Arthur, "you've been looking at the fine old beeches, eh? They're not to be come near by the hatchet, though; this is a sacred grove. I overtook pretty little Hetty Sorrel as I was coming to my den the Hermitage, there. She ought not to come home this way so late. So I took care of her to the gate, and asked for a kiss for my pains.
"You haven't got to eat sorrel pies, have you?" Rose asked, in a bewildered way. "I don't s'pose they'll be any worse than some other things we eat," Sarah answered, scraping the pie-board again. "I don't see how you can." "I guess they won't hurt us any," Sarah said, shortly, and Rose looked abashed. "Well, I must be going," said she. As she went out, she looked hesitatingly at Charlotte.
I heard not The cows and follow them about all day. Thou eatest sorrel wild and heart of dwarf Palm-tree. Thy feet are tired with walking far, And thy rough hands with digging in the earth."
I reasoned it out that other animals besides man lived on animals, except cows, an' they, bein' ruminatin' animals, ain't to be compared to men " "I should think we'd be somethin' like 'em if we eat that," said Mrs. Barnard, pointing at the sorrel, with piteous sarcasm. "It's the principle I'm thinkin' about," said Cephas.
Fred now went down to Raneilda, and brought her up to the house; Sam Sorrel at once placed her in a good position, seized his brushes, and began the portrait. He was delighted with the dress, for it glittered with gold and silver ornaments. The crown was of pure silver covered with gold.
Then, surprised at his success, because she had looked to him like a proud person, though in a working-gown, he began a wandering apology for having failed to help her in. Meantime he touched up the beautiful sorrel, and when they began to fly along the road, and the sorrel's golden mane was tossing, Dorcas had a brief smiling concurrence with Alida.
"Dandy," his lithe-limbed sorrel, pricked up his dainty, pointed ears and whinnied eagerly as he heard his step on the piazza, giving himself a shake that threatened the dislocation of his burden of blankets, canteen, and saddle-bags. The ladies surrounded him at the gate. Mrs. Stannard's kind blue eyes were moistening.
Then she chirruped to the rawboned sorrel mare, and jogged off down the road, followed by the frisky colt, whose long, slender legs when in motion seemed so fragile that it was startling to witness the temerity with which he kicked up his frolicsome heels.
He was such a stubborn fighter, and so furious in his enthusiasm that "his soldiers marched to death when he bade them. What was even harder, they marched at the double-quick through Virginia mud, without shoes, without food, without sleep." They cheerfully did his bidding because they loved him. The sight of his old uniform and scrawny sorrel horse always stirred the hearts of his followers.
His one desire now was to postpone the moment of turning the sorrel toward the Flats. "But the girl," she faltered. "The girl'll be waiting at the station." "Well, let her wait. You'd have to if she didn't. Come!"
