She approached Ruth with open arms; and something in the way the child came into that kindly embrace hurt the older woman to the point of tears. These passers-by who touch us but lightly and are gone, leaving the eternal imprint!
The red jackets shall turn out again upon the turnpike road, and picnics among the cherry-orchards and hop-gardens shall be heard of in Kent. We shall be on the borders of Wales, and probably about Hereford, when you arrive.
