Leif quoted from the speech of the Giant-wife Rimegerd to Helgi in the song: "Three nines of maiden, ride, But one rides before them, A white maid helmed: From their manes the steeds shake Dew into the deep dales, Hail upon the high woods." "It bodes well," said Biorn. "They ride to choose those whom we slay. There will be high doings ere Yule." "Not so well," said Leif.
Nature has so ordained it that those who travel in the valley of the Rhine shall see the river, for there never will be a railroad upon its banks. So mountainous is the land that it would have to be one series of tunnels. Every three or four miles from the time you enter this glorious river, hills, dales, castles, and crags present themselves as the steamer glides onward.
"Trust me for that. Haven't you got the key of your room?" "Yes; it's in my pocket. I left the window on the latch, and I can climb up the beech tree quite well. Oh! that reminds me, Nancy; you must let me have that thimble before I return to The Dales." "To be sure I will, dear. But you needn't think of returning yet, for you have not even arrived. Your fun is only beginning.
Here for the present our story must close. They went home to Glen Elder in May. Three years passed, and May came again, and Glen Elder and Kirklands, and all the hills and dales between, were looking their loveliest in their changing robes of brown and purple and green. The air was sweet with the scent of hawthorn-blossoms, and vocal with the song of birds and the hum of bees.
A chance ball through a loophole or a window had killed the old fellow. Cousin agreed to this. A signal at the mouth of the valley brought us to our toes. It was about to begin. The signal was answered from the ridge behind us. "They've put the stopper in the bottle," Cousin whispered. "But here's an idea. The upper cabin, where the Dales was, is empty.
In the upper portions of the dales even in the narrow riverside pastures the fences are of stone, turned a very dark colour by exposure, and everywhere on the slopes of the hills a wide network of these enclosures can be seen traversing even the most precipitous ascents.
Then Minnikin said: 'Now go over fresh water and salt water, over high hills and deep dales, and do not stop until thou comest to the King's palace. And in an instant the ship went away as swiftly as any bird in the air till it got just below the King's palace, and there it stood still.
"I like my life here; we all suit each other, and we like The Dales just as it is. Yes, we all suit each other, and we don't mind being barbarians." Miss Tredgold sighed. "I perceive," she said, "that I shall have uphill work before me. For you of all the young people, Verena, are the easiest to deal with. I know that without your telling me. I know it by your face.
A pleasing land it was of hills and dales and fertile meadows, but in place of El Turco’s many-storied stone houses, only rude wigwams were to be seen, and the civilized people proved to be naked savages. The only yellow metal seen was a copper plate worn by one of the chiefs and some bells of the same substance.
But how am I to get into my room when I do arrive at The Dales? I don't believe I shall be able to use this arm at all." "Of course you will," said Nancy. "You will be miles better when cook has looked to it. I know she's grand about burns, and has a famous ointment she uses for the purpose.
