It was a good thing she did so, for she had to do some more burrowing work in order to get the babies out of the earth which she had thrown over them. But by the time she had done this she realized that the man had stopped trying to get in, and so she was able to lie down.
McCrae swung on silently, with his rapid, noiseless step. Farwell turned to Sheila. "Do this for me, Miss McCrae," he pleaded. "Give me a fair chance with your father if you won't help me with him. Don't tell your brother of what I'm trying to do. If you do that, his influence will be the other way." "If my father has made up his mind, none of us can change it," said Sheila.
The days were shorter, and the sun went down earlier, but, apart from the sun, the oppressive heat lasted on throughout the nights, which were almost as trying as the day. The earlier summer flowers were over, and the drought had prevented the later ones from coming on well, so that it was difficult to get a good supply week by week.
"What's wrong with it?" "Nothing nothing. Only it isn't exactly what you'd call a gentleman." "Oh. Well, I think you might have told me that before." "I've been trying to tell you." Kitty reflected a moment. "So it's making a catalogue, is it? Whose bright idea is that?" "It was grandpapa's. It's mine now." She did not mention that it was also Horace Jewdwine's.
To travel without any beaten track through a country clothed, in many parts, very thickly, by forests like those just described, is in itself no easy undertaking, and the operation of hewing a way for a mile or two through the surrounding woods, during the very heat of the day, and sometimes after a long march, is very trying.
"If I did, however, you would be quite safe, for they would not come near me. They would be off up that hill as hard as they could tear, jumping everything that came in their way." "Is it not very dull here in the winter?" asked Christina, panting a little, but trying to look as if she had known quite well he was only joking. "I do not find it dull."
We could not live together half slave and half free; shall we succeed better in trying a second left-handed marriage between democracy and another form of aristocracy, less gross, but not less uncongenial?
But there was one calculation forgotten both by Miss Lucinda and Israel: the pig would grow, and in consequence, as I said before, Miss Lucinda came to grief; for when the census-taker tinkled her sharp little door-bell, it called her from a laborious occupation at the sty, no more and no less than trying to nail up a board that Piggy had torn down in struggling to get out of his durance.
I am weary to death of trying to keep Linda cheerful you don't realise how depressing it is to be with her; and and every one seems to have got a little on my nerves. Mr. Draconmeyer," she added, a little defiantly, raising her eyes to his, "has been most kind and delightful, but somehow I want to get away." He sat down on the edge of a couch. She seated herself at the further end of it.
He had something to say about everything, and what he had to say was usually of a derogatory character. He was guarded in what he said about Mr. Marlin, yet Charley saw that he was trying to damn the forester by faint praise.
