One day just before this time Wildeve was standing at the door of the Quiet Woman. In addition to the upward path through the heath to Rainbarrow and Mistover, there was a road which branched from the highway a short distance below the inn, and ascended to Mistover by a circuitous and easy incline. This was the only route on that side for vehicles to the captain's retreat.

She spent a whole morning searching for twigs in the garden, and now all her dolls are supplied with crutches." "Dear little mortal! I never met a sweeter child," cried Mr Rayner, and the conversation branched off to treat of Geraldine and her pretty ways.

Eyre believes that there are "grounds sufficient to hazard the opinion that Australia was first peopled on its north-western coast, between the parallels of 12 and 16 degrees South latitude. From whence we might surmise that three grand divisions had branched off from the parent tribe, and that from the offsets of these the whole continent has been overspread."* Proceeding still further Mr.

This was discouraging for, as I have said, we did not wish to cross the river but to go in a parallel direction, and this road ended at a ferry. There was nothing to do but go back and try to find a road that branched off from the one we were just traveling.

Half way to where Allan had made his couch, the road over which he had ridden branched right and left and some miles down came together again.

Where shall we go?" "Into the garden," said Bunny. "Or wait! Come up on to the battlements! It's ripping up there." She thrust her hand eagerly into his. "I shall love that. Which way do we go?" "Through the music-room," said Bunny. He caught and held her hand. They ran up one of the wide stairways that branched north and south to the Gallery.

Their housings and their stall armour, covered with grease to keep the rust from them, hung upon pulleys before each stall, and their polished neck armours branched out from the walls in a long file, waving over the gateways right into the distance, the face-pieces with the shining spikes in the foreheads hanging at the ends, the eyeholes carved out and the nostril places left vacant, so that they resembled an arcade of the skeletons of unicorns' heads.

"We ought to have turned back when it began to cloud up; but I never dreamed of snow. The family will be having a blue fit about us." "Cheer up! We'll get down all right, only it may take us a little longer," Van asserted. They branched into a side path. The snow swirled about them in blinding sheets, and their footing became heavy and slippery. Wandering on, they scanned the trees.

And through the movement of His Pen of eternal bounty He recorded in His weighty and inviolable Testament the name of Shoghi Effendithe bough that has grown from the two offshoots of the celestial glory, the branch that has branched from the two hallowed and sacred Lote-Trees. Then He winged His flight to the Concourse on High and to the luminous horizon.
