She set her cob basket on the floor, put the stove lid over the roaring fire, and turned to Jack with grandmotherly delight. "You're a real comfort, Lizzie," she said, straightening up with Jack in her arms. "I never used t' think you would be, but you are. I'm that tired that I'm ready t' drop." "Anything more than usual?"
"They are coming this way," Aemilia said; "they have passed the point where the paths fork. She seems to find that basket she is carrying heavy, and no wonder, for it is a steep climb under the midday sun." Stopping once or twice to get breath the two peasants approached. "She is a good looking girl, Beric," Aemilia said.
Her kind entertainers had brought her in their shandry to the opening of the court in which the Chapel-house stood; but she was so heavily burdened with eggs, mushrooms, and plums, that when her brother opened the door she was almost breathless. "Oh, Thurstan! take this basket it is such a weight! Oh, Sally, is that you? Here are some magnum-bonums which we must preserve to-morrow.
And now I close this sketch with a picture of the girl herself. She has just come into her room from inspecting the preparations for the evening entertainment which her father is to give to his tenants and rural neighbours. She has thrown aside her straw hat, and put down the large basket which she has emptied of flowers.
"You must oblige us," said he, "indeed you must. When you have studied the character, I am sure you will feel it suit you. Tragedy may be your choice, but it will certainly appear that comedy chuses you. You will be to visit me in prison with a basket of provisions; you will not refuse to visit me in prison? I think I see you coming in with your basket." The influence of his voice was felt.
"O I am sorry!" said Daisy tenderly. "I want to bring in something for you " She ran away for her basket. Coming back, she left the door open to let in the sweet air and sun. "What is the matter with you, Molly?" The cripple made no answer, not even a grunt; her eyes were fastened on the basket. Daisy lifted the cover and brought out her cake, wrapped in paper.
This, my lord, shows what a present I here make to your lordship; just such as the poor man does to his rich and great neighbour, by whom the basket of flowers or fruit is not ill taken, though he has more plenty of his own growth, and in much greater perfection.
Bell would talk to Jesus about it, for she was to see Jesus after she was dead. Cecile used to wonder where the old woman had gone, and if she had found the real Mercy at last. One day, as Jane, the cook, was filling the children's little basket, Cecile said to her: "Has old Mrs. Bell gone into the Celestial City?"
Gervaise had taken up her basket; she had not risen from her chair, however, but held it on her knees with a dreary look in her eyes, as if the words of the young mechanic had awakened in her mind strange thoughts of a possible future. She answered in a low, hesitating tone, without any apparent connection: "Heaven knows I am not ambitious. I do not ask for much in this world.
"Where a better man would have had better thoughts," replied Philothea: "It was during the sacred festival of the Panathenaea. A short time before midnight, it was my duty to receive the sacred basket from the hands of the priestess, and deposit it in the cave, beneath the Temple of Urania, in the gardens. Eucoline, the daughter of Agatho, attended me, carrying a lighted torch.
