"Don't be too secure," said the sculptor, shaking his head. "There are other tempests besides those in the clouds. When the next war comes in western Europe Belgium will be the battle-field. Beech-wood is very good to burn." "God forbid," said the baron devoutly. "We have had peace for a quarter of a century. Why should it not last?" "Ask the wise men of the East," replied the sculptor grimly.
The old song tells the end of it: "'But the Gorgio lies 'neath the beech-wood tree; He'll broach my tan no more; And my love she sleeps afar from me, But near to the churchyard door. 'Time was I went to my true love, Time was she came to me " He got no farther. Gabriel Druse was on him, gripping his arms so tight to his body that his swift motion to draw a weapon was frustrated.
By the shimmer of blue under the beeches Roy knew that summer "really truly summer!" had come back at last. And summer meant picnics and strawberries and out-of-door lessons, and the lovely hot smell of pine-needles in the pine-wood, and the lovelier cool smell of moss cushions in the beech-wood home of squirrels and birds and bluebells; unfailing wonderland of discovery and adventure.
They entered a little beech-wood, whose leaves made a light of their own, strange and mystical. "Yours must have been a wonderful life!" said Hadria. "Yes, I have seen and felt many things," answered Miss Du Prel, stirred by the intoxication of the motion and the wind and the sunlight, "life has been to me a series of intense emotions, as it will be to you, I fear " "You fear?" said Hadria.
On his left-front the rounded bosom of another beech-wood rose, in its midst a single chestnut already rusting. Across the valley, behind a ridge, a blunt church-tower and yellow-lichened roofs peeped. On the hill beyond, a windmill cocked up against the sky. He paid little attention, making straight for the flag of his country.
Then they came to a mighty big forest in which there was a mighty big tree; in the tree was a mighty big chapel in the chapel was a sexton made of beech-wood and a box-wood parson, who dealt out holy-water with cudgels. "How truly happy is that one Who can from holy water run!" 139 The Maid of Brakel A girl from Brakel once went to St.
"Spare the rod and spoil the child" was one of the maxims of the school, and the first duty of the boys on assembling each morning was to gather a good-sized bundle of beech-wood switches, of which the schoolmaster made such vigorous use that before the sessions ended the supply was generally exhausted.
We gained more than we had hoped, for as we came round one of the turns in the winding path, up the hanging beech-wood, we came on the two friends- -Ellen, a truly Una-like figure, in her white dress with her black scarf making a sable stole.
The Indian had terminated a long two days' search by toting from the forest a number of strips of the outer bark of white birch, in its green state pliable as cotton, thick as leather, and light as air. These he had cut into arbitrary patterns known only to himself, and was now sewing as a long shapeless sort of bag or sac to a slender beech-wood oval.
The palace stirred like a mighty pot that boils to its utmost verge, for the hour of the revelries was come. Over the beech-wood and far across the black heath where Jack Cade marshaled the men of Kent, the wind trembled with the boom of the castle bell. Within the walls of the palace its clang was muffled by a sound of voices that rose and fell like the wind upon the sea.
