"And what is your story about?" said the Lad who fiddled for Jew in the bramble-bush. "It is," said Fortunatus, "about " The Good of a Few Words
"I found it on a bramble-bush in a wood," said Barnabas. "In a wood!" "In Annersley Wood; I found a lady there also." "A lady oh, egad!" "A very beautiful woman," said Barnabas thoughtfully, "with wonderful yellow hair!" "The Lady Cleone Meredith!" exclaimed the Viscount, "but in a wood!" "She had fallen from her horse." "How? When?

"No good tree bears rotten fruit; neither does a rotten tree bear good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor grapes picked from a bramble-bush. From the good stored in his heart the good man brings forth goodness, but the evil man from his evil store brings forth evil; for the mouth speaks that with which the heart is filled. The Sower
Once again sharp claws tore his coat and made him squeal with pain. At last, when his breath was almost gone, he reached the edge of the Old Pasture and dived under a friendly old bramble-bush. "Oh," sobbed Peter, "I forgot all about Hooty the Owl! Besides, I didn't suppose he ever came way up here." Brambles never scratch those who understand and are considerate of them. Peter Rabbit.
Now the fact was that when Solomon jumped into the bramble-bush he was wearing his spectacles, and the brambles pushed the glasses so close against his eyes that he could not open them; and so, as every other part of him was scratched and bleeding, and he could not open his eyes, he made sure they were scratched out.

Bassano was quick to see the necessity of jumping into the bramble-bush and scratching his eyes in again, and he then produced his year-old edict. Being a year old, it of course covered all questions. But was it a year old? Who knew? It had never been published? No, the duke said; but it had been shown to Mr. Jonathan Russell, who at that time was chargé d'affaires at Paris. Mr.

But he couldn't sit still long, for he just had to find out all about the Old Pasture. So pretty soon he started out to explore. Such a wonderful place as it seemed to Peter!
