Another contest is where, after the lashing, one calls "stop." The one that "dies" first, is naturally out. Racing is done by drawing a taw line, from which the whip tops start for a designated goal, the first one in winning. This is an exciting game and not so easy as at first appears. The tin or wooden humming top is but an interesting toy.
You know, the little dark clouds walk alone upon the mountain tops at sunset as you said, Angela they are like trees, and sometimes like faces, and sometimes like the shadows of little bent gipsies.... I used to look at the mountains and think: 'What am I about, to be so worried and so small, in sight of such an enormous storm of mountains under a gold sky? I think of those rocks often at night, standing just as we left them, all by themselves, under that unnatural moon, it was an unnatural moon on the edge of the world there, all by themselves, with no watching eyes to spoil them, as Pinehurst used to say, not even one's own eyes.... You'll say that adventure my one adventure was impossible, Meta.
The fairies are to put it high up among the tree tops where they sleep at nights." "How lovely," cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip. "I thought all the fairies were dead," Mrs. Darling said.
Above the flats of shimmering water, where the gold or crimson of sunset lay, rose constantly the tops of masts, shadowy and spectral, telling of the sunken hull, the pale corpses beneath those gleaming waves.
So I rode back to the oak-trees, and there there was not a sign of life. All was as silent and still as if nothing had ever disturbed Nature's quiet. I remember how beautiful was the night. A half-moon shone out in a clear sky, like a semicircle of pure, bright silver, the tops of the mountains were silhouetted against the sky as if they were cut out of cardboard, and all was so calm just then.
"I didn't know there was any one here till I heard Cæsar knock something down." She dusted the tops of the crutches with her sleeve and propped them against the table. "Thanks!" said Durant curtly. He was not feeling sociable he could not feel sociable on that day of all days in his life's record. Yet, as if attracted by something, the girl lingered.
And after that he was ready to do whatever he liked, so out he went on the Pleasant Meadow to eat some clover tops so as not to feel hungry for the next ten minutes. And just then Mrs. Cow came along with her tinkle, tinkle bell that hung at her throat from a leather collar. "Where are you going?" she asked, but the little rabbit didn't know. He was only looking around.
Backed by the dreary woods, which still disgorged unceasing additions to the warlike multitude already encamped; surrounded by the desolate crags which showed dim, wild, and majestic through the darkness of the mist; covered with the dusky clouds which hovered motionless over the barren mountain tops, and poured their stormy waters on the uncultivated plains all that the appearance of the Goths had of solemnity in itself was in awful harmony with the cold and mournful aspect that the face of Nature had assumed.
Then I rode home. I no sooner arrived home than my father was born. "We must have holy water for the christening," I said. "I suppose I must go to heaven to fetch some." But how was I to get there? I thought of my millet. Sure enough the dampness had made it grow so well that its tops now reached the sky. So all I had to do was to climb a millet stalk and there I was in heaven.
They issue directions for climbing calculated to chase away the poet from the snow-fields, as when Sir Martin Conway says that a certain glacier must be "struck at the right corner of its snout," and "its drainage stream flows from the left corner." They do not hesitate to admit that they would continue to climb even if there were no views to be enjoyed from the tops.
