For untold centuries Egypt has depended for its very life upon the yearly flood-tide of the Nile. The rich bottom lands of the Connecticut Valley are refertilized every spring by that river's flood-tide. The green beauty and rich fruitage of some parts of the Sacramento Valley, whose soil is flooded by the artificial irrigation-rivers, are in sharp contrast with adjoining unwatered portions.
Beyond them, what you see here, a far dream-country of untold loveliness. I said, 'O, Billy! have you lived beside this all these months? And then I began to cry, because I didn't know what else to do, and I was so glad that I had come." A fleeting shadow of sadness seemed to cross Meryl's face. "I envy you," she said in a low voice.

How much more than did it fire Arthur's pulses, already bounding with youth and health, with an untold joy. He felt like a child again, so free from care, so happy, except that his heart swelled with a love beyond the knowledge of children.
