"Get busy at what?" asked Susan, half-hopeful, half in scorn. "Oh, anything!" "Yes, and Thorny getting forty-five after twelve years!" "Well, but you've told me yourself how Thorny wastes time, and makes mistakes, and conies in late, and goes home early " "As if that made any difference! Nobody takes the least notice!" Susan said hotly.
You might see, on the opposite side of the pool, the antlers of the deer every now and then, moving restlessly above the fern in which they had made their couch; and, through the nearer glades, the hares and conies stealing forth to sport or to feed; or the bat wheeling low, in chase of the forest moth.
"Once more, and once only, we heard it, a low, smothered, despairing cry. "'Some one is lost, and perishing in the snow, said Julia. 'The sound conies in the direction of the beach plum-bushes on the side of the marsh. Let us go at once. "She snatched up her hood and shawl, and was already at the door. I found and lighted a lantern and soon overtook her.
The fat, gray conies chirped at us from the rocks; the ground-squirrels, greatly multiplied since the wholesale destruction of foxes, kept the dogs unavailingly chasing hither and thither whenever they were loose.
When he conies in he'll beat her horribly if he finds out we've been there. I often go in on the sly. I went for him this morning when he began beating her again." "What do you mean?" "I dragged him off her by the hair. He tried to beat me, but I frightened him, and so it ended. I'm afraid he'll come back drunk, and won't forget it he'll give her a bad beating because of it."
From this hour on we are strangers, till the time conies when we shall appear before the judgment-seat of God. In that day, neither you nor I can hold back one iota of the truth. Think of this, and repent your part in this awful tragedy of sin, if you can." And I turned away toward the door.
The conies squeaked from the rocky ridges, and a brace of eagles circling about a lone crag, as if exulting in their sovereign mastery of the air, screamed in shrill ecstatic duo. The sheer cliffs, on their shadowed sides, were violently purple. Everywhere the landscape exhibited crashing contrasts of primary pigments which bit into consciousness like the flare of a martial band.
And there are visitors who have come again to the scenes of yesterday a man and woman and between them a sturdy little lad of eight. They stop at the end of the wagon track and look out across the lawn. It is still and peaceful, tranquil and to them conies the soft, low murmur of the surf. Slowly they walk across the lawn, and pass beneath the splendid maples and pause again.
These are a few of the things used at the banquet: three hundred quarters of wheat, three hundred tuns of ale, one hundred and four tuns of wine, eighty oxen, three thousand geese, two thousand pigs, four thousand conies, four thousand heronshaws, four thousand venison pasties cold and five hundred hot, four thousand cold tarts, four thousand cold custards, eight seals, four porpoises, and so on.
