A monk revealed to my brother Ilya the Kingdom of Heaven be his that in one place in the fortress of Taganrog there was a treasure under three stones, and that that treasure was under a charm, and in those days it was, I remember, in the year '38 an Armenian used to live at Matvyeev Barrow who sold talismans. Ilya bought a talisman, took two other fellows with him, and went to Taganrog.
When she returned with the bottle, the barrow was empty, and the foal lay quiet on a heap of brown grass in the corner. It whinnied and essayed to stand. "It's coming, honey," said Boy in her deep, comforting voice. The foal sucked greedily and with quivering tail. From outside in the yard came the pleasant clatter of horses' feet on the cobbles. The string was returning.
Betty Brown, the orange girl, was born nobody knows where, and bred nobody knows how. No girl in all the streets of London could drive a barrow more nimbly, avoid pushing against passengers more dexterously, or cry her "fine China oranges" in a shriller voice. But then she could neither sew, nor spin, nor knit, nor wash, nor iron, nor read, nor spell.
He was robed in white like any spectre, and the hood falling back, in the instancy of his contention with the barrow, disclosed a pate as bald and yellow as a skull. He might have been buried any time these thousand years, and all the lively parts of him resolved into earth and broken up with the farmer's harrow. I was troubled besides in my mind as to etiquette.
Wallachian is formed from Latin and Sclavonian; why then is not the word for water either woda or aqua, or a modification of either? Why is the Arabic word for the sea Irish, for what is the difference between bahar, the Arabic word for sea, and beathra, an old Irish word for water, pronounced barra, whence the river Barrow?
He touched the ring he held. "This must be very old. It's the red gold which came into Ireland and England before the Romans conquered the land. Perhaps this was found in some old barrow on Lorne lands. But it no longer means anything without the Luck." He held it out to Ricky. "By tradition this is yours." She shook her head. "I don't think I want that, Rupert. It's too old too strange.
Driven by conflicting influences she had burned her boats, and the sooner all signs of the conflagration were obliterated the better. But she opposed a quiet negative to the further suggestion that she should accompany the Durwards to Barrow Court instead of returning to Monkshaven. "No, I can't do that," she said with decision. "I promised Doctor Dick I would go back." Elisabeth smiled airily.
Swift, Tom's father, who was setting out some plants in a flower bed, taking them from a large wheel barrow filled with the blooms. Mr. Swift, who was an inventor of note, had failed in his health of late, and the doctor had recommended him to be out of doors as much as possible. He delighted in gardening, and was at it all day. "Look!" suddenly cried Ned, pointing to the giant.
Many tried to climb it, but when they came to the grease they came down 'by the run. One fellow however filled his kummerbund with sand, and after much exertion managed to secure the prize. Wheeling the barrow blindfold also gave much amusement, and we made some boys bend their foreheads down to a stick and run round till they were giddy.
It was the most mysterious and unaccountable thing that was ever heard of For a lame man to have got upon his legs without any previous notice, and walked off, would have been most extraordinary; but when it came to his wheeling a heavy barrow before him, by way of amusement, it grew positively miraculous.
