When, at last, they came out and were dried, and Gabriel was dressed, they were a fresh looking pair that started out for the town.

I seemed to respire hope and comfort with the free air that whispered through the leaves and played lightly with my hair, and dried the tears upon my cheek. A lark, rising from the field before me, and leaving, as it were, a stream of song behind him as he rose, lifted my fancy with him.

At last, after infinite patience and endeavour, she managed to get in, through the roof. There were supplies flour, and bacon, and dried apples, all very much to her distinctly catholic taste and she enjoyed herself immensely till private duties summoned her reluctantly away. Spring comes late to the great snows, but when it does come it is swift and not to be denied.

After she had retired to rest the other three continued to hold converse together until grey dawn began to appear through the chinks in the window-shutters.

Advantage was taken of the delay to repair effectually the canoe, which had been broken in the Dog Rapid. On the next evening the men arrived with the meat, and enabled Mr. McCleod , of the North-West Company, to furnish us with four hundred pounds of dried provisions. Mr. McVicar, of the Hudson's Bay Company, also supplied one hundred and fifty pounds.

The Lion would have preferred a bed of dried leaves in the forest, and did not like being shut up in a room; but he had too much sense to let this worry him, so he sprang upon the bed and rolled himself up like a cat and purred himself asleep in a minute.
