When I am taking a stroll in the woods, as I delight to do in the autumn-time, laundering my soul with the gorgeous colors, the music of the rustling leaves, the majestic silences, and the sounds that are less and more than sounds, I often wonder, when I take one bypath, what experiences I might have had if I had taken the other. I'll never know, of course, but I keep on wondering.
The figure approached, but before Tom could discern anything more than that it was a woman, it disappeared behind the hedge up the little bypath that cut off the corner into Rectory Lane. "She's gone," said Tom. "I suppose she was not coming here after all." "Which way has she gone?" asked Mr. Cardew, looking straight on the ground and scratching it with his stick. "Into the town."
The road which they had taken was the one leading past the farm and down to Strong Ingmar's cabin, at the edge of the forest. Soon Ingmar came running after, calling, "Hadn't we better go this way instead?" Then he led them in on a bypath that wound around the edge of the forest, and by which they could reach the cabin without having to cross the farm proper.
It was several minutes before I could catch the news. At last it was shouted at me over a telephone. Murder! A white Greek who ever heard of a colored Greek? with a white shirt on had shot a man at Pedro Miguel at 6:35. Every road and bypath of escape to Panama was already blocked, armed men would meet the assassin whatever way he might take.
From that position they could see the Foss Way, now about half-a-mile distant in the bright moonlight, and Dunstan's eye at once caught twelve figures horsemen sweeping down it like the wind, which brought the sound of their passage faintly to the ear. "Wait," he said, "and see whether they pass the bypath; in that case we are safe."
You take me to her and then we will talk this thing out together. By the way, where are you going?" Mrs. Dale had turned into a bypath or half-formed road closely lined with small trees and looking as though it might be a woodchoppers' path. "To the lodge." "I don't believe it," replied Eugene, who was intensely suspicious. "This isn't a main road to any such place as that." "I tell you it is."
There might be some path or track to the river-side of which he knew nothing; and if that bypath existed Purvis would certainly take it, however circuitous it might be. There seemed to be some curious obliquity about him which made for crooked ways, and in any case Peter did not want to miss the mail with Toffy's letters.
Though the hymns were ugly and they were very ugly she would have done better to sing them; and she sought to press herself into the admission that art which does not tend to the glory of God is vain and harmful. Far better these hideous hymns, if singing them conducts to everlasting life. But every time she pressed her mind towards an inevitable conclusion, it turned off into an obscure bypath.
After a while she left the broad road and turned into a little bypath, and then again to a narrower foot-track, and gained the shady and retired spot which had recommended itself to her choice. It was situated on the slope of a little hill; a huge rock protected it on one side from the observation of the passer-by, and a fine old oak overshadowed it upon the other.
It was still early morning, but the sun, with California extravagance, had already begun to beat hotly on the little chip hat and blue ribbons, and Miss Jo was obliged to seek the shade of a bypath.
