"If cats were always kittens, And rats were always mice, And elderberries were younger berries, Now would n't that be nice?" Adrian, walking beside him, trilled joyously. "You seem in high spirits," Anthony remarked. "I 've been thinking of your suggestion," said Adrian. Anthony frowned, at a loss. "My suggestion ?" "Yes your suggestion that I should marry her." Anthony stared.
I suppose they must be boiled even if it is the Judgment Day to-morrow. But I don't believe it is." "And I've got to go and stump elderberries," said Peter. "I don't see how I can do it go away back there alone. I'll feel scared to death the whole time." "Tell Uncle Roger that, and say if to-morrow is the end of the world that there is no good in stumping any more fields," I suggested.
"You'll be lucky if you're better in a month," said Aunt Polly Woodchuck. "You must be very careful about what you eat. You may have all the ginseng and Jimson weed and elecampane that you wish. And drink plenty of catnip tea! But until you're quite well again, don't touch corn, grasshoppers, birds' eggs, field-mice, or elderberries. If you eat such things your other foot may swell.
A time will come when his interludes will cease to be read, but his making ink out of elderberries, his battle with the "cruel fighter," his teaching his horses to turn the crane, and his getting the ship to the water, will be talked of in Wales till the peak of Snowdon shall fall down.

That week and the next Clelia made herself listlessly busy, and Sabrina was away, nursing a child who was sick of a fever. Clelia was pondering now on her own hurt, now on the story her friend had told her.
The rains of August had ceased and their lavish abundance had filled brook and river and left the world a garden of wild aster and goldenrod, with red apples swinging from the trees, massed umbels of dark elderberries, and pink and purple grapes ripening in the sun. Our satisfaction with everything was unbounded.
You ought to have sense enough to know that." "Well, why did you talk to her about it?" "I didn't talk to her about it. But," said Dr. Lavendar, thrusting out his lower lip, "I should like to." "We were going to hunt up a parson in Upper Chester," said the Captain, sheepishly. Dr. Lavendar looked about, up and down the silent, shady road, then through the bordering elderberries into an orchard.
This is excellent as a medicine for delicate or elderly persons. Fill a bottle with elderberries, with a dozen cloves, and fill it up with spirits. It is good to give children that have the summer disease; mix a tea-spoonful of it with sugar and water for a child, or a table-spoonful for a grown person. Ginger Wine.
Roger might wait for cool weather before he sets people to stumping out elderberries, and that's a fact." "Why don't you tell him so?" asked Dan. "It ain't my business to tell him things," retorted Peter. "I'm hired to do what I'm told, and I do it. But I can have my own opinion all the same. It's going to be a broiling hot day."
Originally a mellow and fertile field, it had been almost ruined by a persistent, luxuriant growth of elderberry bushes. Old Thomas Fillmore had at first tried to conquer them by mowing them down "in the dark of the moon." But the elderberries did not seem to mind either moon or mowing, and flourished alike in all the quarters.
