Grass choked the rain-pipes, and moss dappled the gravel walk. In the border at my feet someone had attempted a clearance of the weeds; and here lay his hoe, matted with bindweed and ring-streaked with the silvery tracks of snails. "Very well, Lobelia. We will be sensible house-maid and cook, and talk of business. We came out, I believe, to cut a cabbage-leaf to make an apple-pie"
It's nonsense to have a child like that out of the nursery. We'd best not say anything before her. Verena and Briar, will you walk down to the gate with me? I thought perhaps we might have the picnic in a week. It could be easily managed; you know it could." "Oh, we must go!" said Pauline. "I'm going," said Josephine. But Verena was silent. "Here's your cabbage-leaf.
This discussion, which was not at all by way of a jest, amused Dada far more than the tablets, cylinders and cones covered with numbers and cabalistic signs, to which Medius tried to direct her attention. She darted off in the midst of his eager explanations to show his grandchildren how a rabbit sniffs and moves his ears when he is offered a cabbage-leaf.
Take them all," said the princess with quick generosity. "Thank you; but a dozen will be heaps," said the Terror. The princess helped him gather them and lay them in a large cabbage-leaf; and then they bade each other good-by at the garden-gate. The Twins returned home in triumph with the golden spoil.

"Who have increased in size" would be better grammar and just as good sense.
He would, have set her in a fair palace, and given her due dower, I reckon, would she but there have tarried, like a slug on a cabbage-leaf, and let him alone; and she would not. How could she? She was not a slug, but an eagle. And 'tis not the nature of an eagle to hang hour after hour upon a cabbage-leaf.
For years afterward the thought of it had the same effect upon me that the cabbage-leaf produced so unexpectedly in that grief-stricken home. I might fill many pages with such stories, but I shall not attempt it. Do they seem mean and trifling in the retrospect? Not at all. They were my work, and I liked it. And I got a good deal of fun out of it from time to time. I mind Dr.
But still there was a difficulty whom should the Caterpillar consult? There was the shaggy Dog who sometimes came into the garden. But he was so rough! he would most likely whisk all the eggs off the cabbage-leaf with one brush of his tail.
