Between the sunny vine-clad hills and belt of suburban dwellings flows the placid Saone, a contrast indeed to its swift, impetuous brother no wonder the Rhone has a masculine name!
"Happy New Year, Son!" said Daddy Horton, catching him in his arms and lifting him as high as the Christmas tree which still stood in one corner of the parlor. "Happy New Year, Sunny Boy!" cried Harriet, waving a dish towel at him when he peeped into her kitchen. "I think New Year is nice," said Sunny Boy, when Mother said he might have two waffles for his breakfast because of the holiday.
Little she knew or recked, poor child! how far was this present desolate France from her babyhood's sunny home. Having conquered the grand difficulty of getting there, she saw no other difficulties in her path just now. "Oh, Maurice! we are safe in our own country," she said, in a tone of ecstasy, to the little boy.

"I don't see how so much rain can be made. When is it going to stop?" "I think it will hold up this afternoon and be clear to-morrow, clear and sunny." "I like sunshine best. And little rains.

Among our sheltered valleys an sunny slopes the hardest frost only lasted a few hour after dawn; but twenty-five miles further back, on the border of the glacier region, the mountain tarns could boast of ice several feet thick all the winter.
Colonel Ryder observed my sullenness and commented on it. "Don't be down-hearted, my boy. It is the fortune of war; there is no telling when it may turn its sunny side to you. In your place I should whistle and sing and make the best of it. Still, I know how you feel, and I sympathize with you."
He had seemed to simply stare at life from a sunny place on a stone-wall or a door-step all summer. When the autumn set in he sat in his old chair by the fire. Caleb had always felt cold since Deborah died. When the bell tolled off his years, one morning in November, nobody felt surprised. People had said to each other for some time that Caleb Thayer was failing.
Tibbs, with a very red face, for she had been superintending the cooking operations below stairs, and looked like a wax doll on a sunny day. ‘Mr. Simpson, I beg your pardon—Mr. Simpson—Mrs. Maplesone and the Miss Maplesones’—and vice versâ.
