But for your guide when on horseback, half a bowshot from Joceline's hut is that of old Martin the verdurer; he is a score of years older than I, but as fresh as an old oak beat up his quarters, and let him ride with you for death and life. He will guide you to your relay, for no fox that ever earthed in the Chase knows the country so well for seven leagues around."
"Space, Tau'd go wild if he could see it!" And that mention of the Medic brought them back to the problem which had earthed them. Dane leaned back against the slanting wall of the cabin. "We have to have a Medic " Rip nodded without looking away from the screen. "Can one of the flitters be shielded?" The Cargo-apprentice persisted. "That's a thought!

"And does the Red Rover live here," cried Mr. Pendennis, "and have we earthed him at last?" "He sometimes comes here," Mr. Honeyman said with a careless manner.
During September and October the plants will grow rapidly, and in order to blanch them they must be earthed up from time to time, always keeping the stalks close and compact, with no soil falling in on the developing part.

"Send that other man away," said Meldon, "and listen to me while I speak to you." "Mickey," said Callaghan to his fellow-labourer, "let you be off with you and get the potatoes earthed up beyond in the garden. It's wonderful, so it is, the way you'd take a delight in sitting there all day and not doing a hand's turn." Mickey went off, still grinning.

He drew down his brows and made no answer to her charge. "Where was the fox earthed?" asked the other lady, after a rapid glance at his face.
As the seed is small, it should not be sown too thick, or be covered too deep: the seed is best sown while the ground is fresh stirred, either broad-cast on the surface, raking it in lightly, or in flat shallow drills, earthed over thinly: the plants appear in two or three weeks.
A hole was dug in the ground, some fire put in it, a. quantity of ordinary grass was put on the top of the coals, and on top of that a heap of Burraungah grass, that topped with ordinary grass.
