Murmuring water drew their steps down into a shallow shaded ravine where a brown brook brawled softly over mossy stones. Multitudes of strange, gray frogs with white spots and black eyes lined the rocky bank and leaped only at close approach. Then Venters's eye descried a very thin, very long green snake coiled round a sapling. They drew closer and closer till they could have touched it.
Bonnie Bell thought this was getting too sort of personal and she starts in toward the house she tells me a good deal of this afterward but he come up closer to the fence and seemed kind of sorry to have her go; and says he: "Wait a minute. I was telling you about my ranch. I'm going to have one some day.
Janet watched her fasten her coat collar up closer about her neck, but she could not speak. Daphne apparently did not expect her to. "It's your turn now," she repeated and without another word turned and walked away. Janet did not follow her except with her eyes. She seemed rivetted to the spot on which she stood.
Lee pulled his chair closer to the window and lighted his pipe. "I cannot tell you," Aunt Josephine began, "how glad I am to have become acquainted with you all. I feel better about Keineth."

And before protest could be made they were in a hotel across the street and at a table on which a shaded light permitted a closer examination of the penciled scrawl which went for writing.
The children wondered for a time what could have happened, but discovering some very fine ripe blackberries soon turned to picking and tasting them again, when suddenly they heard the whistling close to them, and again still closer; and presently there was a little rustle through the bushes, and there stood the idiot before them, still whistling.
This meant that when he left Winnipeg tomorrow there would be an end to all that delightful comradeship with Jane which during the years of his long and broken college course had formed so large a part of his life, and which during the past winter had been closer and dearer than ever. Their lives would necessarily drift apart. Other friends would come in and preoccupy her mind and heart.
