I have since been occasionally reminded of this scene, by those calm, sunny seasons in the commercial world, which are known by the name of "times of unexampled prosperity." They are the sure weather-breeders of traffic.
I got my suspicions he knows more about 'm than he's lettin' on. An' look at the weather an' the delay we're gettin'. An' don't everybody know the Finns is regular warlocks an' weather-breeders?" My ears pricked up. "Where did you get that word warlock?" I questioned. Tom Spink looked puzzled. "What's wrong with it, sir?" he asked. "Nothing. It's all right. But where did you get it?"
Certain days he calls "weather-breeders," and they are usually the fairest days in the calendar, all sun and sky. They are too fair; they are suspiciously so. They come in the fall and spring, and always mean mischief.
When Yolanda returned, I said: "Fräulein, will you not eat?" "I do not care to eat," she replied, and I could easily see that she was struggling to keep back the tears. "Let us resume our journey at once. I see the men-at-arms are waiting." Our rare days of sunshine had surely been weather-breeders. We were all under a dark cloud.
For a week we had not a cloud in the sky; the superbly clear days belied the old saying of "weather-breeders." Our road, on leaving Vossevangen, led through pine-forests, following the course of a stream up a wild valley, enclosed by lofty mountains.
"Oh, the locus'-trees a-blowin'," she sang, softly. "An' the moon a-shinin' through them. An' the starlight an' pink roses; an' Amanthis an' Amanthis!" She hummed it over and over until Walker had finished carrying the dishes away. It was a strange thing that the Colonel's unfrequent moods of tenderness were like those warm days that they call weather-breeders.
Sara, surrounded by the children, stood looking from the window one afternoon, soon after this storm broke. "How glad I am she didn't take baby!" she said, pressing the little fellow's cheek against her own. "I felt those last two sultry days were weather-breeders. Do you remember whether she took her heavy shawl, Molly?" "No, I don't b'lieve she did; wait, I'll see."
True it is, some slight dissatisfaction was shown on two or three occasions at certain unreasonable conduct of Commodore Hudson. Thus, for instance, he forbore to shorten sail when the wind was light and the weather serene, which was considered among the most experienced Dutch seamen as certain weather-breeders, or prognostics, that the weather would change for the worse.
Fine days, however, is scarce in January on that herrin' pond I'll take just another; mentionin' herrin's makes me dry and when you gits 'em they are most always weather-breeders. I went up on to the main royal yard when our side come up at 8 o'clock one mornin' for to sew on the leather on the parral, and it were like a day in May.
She was Cousin Chilian's little girl, so why should she feel lonely! Once in a number of years spring comes early. It did this time, at the close of the century. People shook their heads and talked about "weather-breeders," and mentioned snow as late as May, when fruit trees had been in bloom. But nature had turned over a bright, clear leaf, that made the book of time fairly shine.
