Above the bridge, a footpath among the huge boulders winds its way by the side of the rushing beck to Thomasin Foss, where the little river falls in two or three broad silver bands into a considerable pool. Great masses of overhanging rock, shaded by a leafy roof, shut in the brimming waters.
It was evening before the end came suddenly; a dancing flash that lighted the heavens from east to west and, crashing upon it, an explosion that seemed to rend the earth. It was a cataclysm of sound, drowning the faculties, stunning the senses, brimming up the void with awful tumult. A great start ran through the man's bowed figure. He sat up dazed, stiffly opening his clenched hands.
"But you cannot see him. You must report to me," she laughed gayly, her heart brimming over now that he was before her again. "Father was going to send for you to-day, but the doctor would not let him. Hush! he musn't hear us." "He would not let me go out either, but as I am tired to death of being cooped up in my room, I broke jail. Can't I see him?" he continued in a lower key.
His letters are full of allusions to his little farm, to the poplars in the horse-shoe valley, and the river brimming out from the 'monarch of springs. In these new lawns of Helicon he made a new home for his books, and tried to forget in their company the tumults that had driven him from Italy.
Walk!" Myrtle tried it, stumbled, sulked. Emma, half smiling, half woeful, patted the girl's shoulder. "Oh, I see; you're wearing a tight one. Well, run in and get into the skirt.

Lucy moved to the window recess, and stood looking upon the peace and beauty without, until her eyes were brimming with tears.
Suddenly the Indian snatched up the prostrate boy to a sitting posture. One hand was around the boy's shoulder, the other held the tin cup, brimming with reddening, glue-like stuff. "Quick!" he said, looking at Billy. "You trust me?" "Yes," said the boy, very quietly. "Give it to him." "Yes," said Jerry; "give it to me." The Indian held the cup to the little chap's lips.
What did the weary days before and behind matter? What did casuistry and determinism and fate and the purpose of life concern us then, my friend and me? As little as they concerned the gnats that danced so busily in the golden light, at the corner where the alder dipped her red rootlets to drink the brimming stream.
And it was years before she could walk past the house where the Fingáls had lived, without feeling sick. Her life was, however, brimming with active interests which occupied her, mind and body.
Oh! oh! and Margaret was SO proud of those letters! Really, Mr. Hungerford!" She shook her head. Her eyes were brimming over with fun. Cousin Percy's cheeks had lost something of their aristocratic pallor. Margaret Babcock, the daughter of a well known glass manufacturer, had been one of the list of feminine acquaintances whom he had honored with long distance familiarity.
