And the farmer, too, perhaps, must look at home, and be content to live in simpler fashion. On the ground beside the bramble bushes that project into the field the grass is white with hoar frost at noon-day, when the rest of the meadow has resumed its dull green winter tint.
Bramble bushes project over the dangerous wall of chalk, and grasses fill up the interstices, a hedge suspended in air; but be careful not to reach too far for the blackberries. The green sea is on the one hand, the yellow stubble on the other. The porpoise dives along beneath, the sheep graze above. Green seaweed lines the reef over which the white spray flies, blue lucerne dots the field.
Whilst I have patience to look the other way there he stays, but again a glance sends him away. This is repeated four or five times, till, finally, convinced that I mean no harm and yet timorous and fearful of betrayal even in the act, he dives down into the bramble bush.
"Well, go up into my room, and hanging on the nail behind the door you will see a lead-line bring it me down here." I did so, and then Bramble explained to me how the fathoms were marked on the line, and how the soundings were given out.
Departing from his own habits, he would, therefore, lie in wait for Guy Darrell creeping out of a bramble or bush, like a familiar sprite; and was no longer to be awed away by a curt syllable or a contracted brow. And Darrell, at first submitting reluctantly, and out of compassionate kindness to the flute- player's obtrusive society, became by degrees to welcome and relax in it.

When in India, she had looked most favorably upon Captain Bramble's intimacy with her child, where there were accessory circumstances to further her claims; but now she soon told her daughter in private, that Captain Bramble was a match fit and proper in all respects for such as she was. "But, mother " "Well, my child?"
My exhortation, therefore, is to professors that they look to it, that they take heed. The barren fig-tree in the vineyard, and the bramble in the wood, are both prepared for the fire. Profession is not a covert to hide from the eye of God; nor will it palliate the revengeful threatening of his justice; he will command to cut it down shortly.
The India-rubber Man stabbed the butt of his rod in the turf, took off his cast-entwined deerstalker and hung it on a bramble; then he slipped the strap of his creel over his head and emptied the contents on to the grass. "Five," he said, counting. They knelt beside the golden trout and laid them in a row. "I could have taken more," he added, "but that's all we want for breakfast.
"Oh," said Stephen, very red, turning round abruptly after this awkward pause had continued for a minute or two "oh, that was wrong; he doesn't begin, and the other fellow's away. Look here, Bramble, do your thing now." "No, I can't," whispered Bramble in an audible voice. "I've forgotten the first line." "Something about a kid asleep," suggested Padger, also audibly.
