My father was returned from his walk to the fish-pond and opened the parlour-door in the very height of the attack, just as my uncle Toby was marching up the glacis Trim recovered his arms never was my uncle Toby caught in riding at such a desperate rate in his life!
Her ingenuity in devising expedients; her activity in putting them in force; her unfailing cheerfulness under disappointment, and Christian resignation under privation, produced the best results. I was enabled to bear up against the ill effects of our crippled resources, consequent upon the ill conduct of the sailors of the whaler, and the failure of our fish-pond.
Next came a beautiful maple grove, followed by a long, green lawn, dotted here and there with forest trees and having on its right a deep running brook, whose waters, farther on at the rear of the garden, were formed into a miniature fish-pond.
Within this moat there was, as I have said, the fish-pond a sheet of water that extended the whole length of the garden and bordering which there was an avenue called the lime-tree walk; an avenue so shaded from the sun and sky, so screened from observation by the thick shelter of the over-arching trees that it seemed a chosen place for secret meetings or for stolen interviews; a place in which a conspiracy might have been planned, or a lover's vow registered with equal safety; and yet it was scarcely twenty paces from the house.
After that, as the weather will not permit us to leave the house for any time, we will cut our salt-pan and make our fish-pond; they will take a week at least, and then we shall have little more to do near home. I think the strength of the rains is over already, and perhaps in a fortnight we may venture to walk through the wood, and examine what we have saved from the wreck."
Some of the holes were quite big enough to have taken a very small heretic. There was a broken swing, and a fish-pond but we were on business, and Oswald insisted on reading the papers. He said, "Let's go to the sundial. It looks dryer there, my feet are like ice-houses."
On this particular forenoon, however, neither Miss Hugonin nor Felix Kennaston had eyes for its comeliness; silently they braved the griffins, and in silence they skirted the fish-pond silver-crinkling in the May morning and passed through cloistral ilex-shadowed walks, and amphitheatres of green velvet, and terraces ample and mellow in the sunlight, silently.
Round and round the fish-pond the trio flew Rose still ahead, the Doctor outstripping the Lieutenant. The chase was getting exciting. There was no chance of gaining on Rose by following her. Danton tried strategy. As she wheeled airily around, he abruptly turned, headed her off, and caught her with a rebound in his arms. "By Jove!" cried the Captain, delighted, "he has her.
And smiling at the theatrical phrase, which had arisen unexpectedly to her lips, she went into the garden to join the Prioress. "Come this way, dear; I want to talk to you." And the Prioress and the novice wandered away from the other nuns towards the fish-pond, and stood listening to the gurgle of the stream and to the whisper of the woods.
Appleton felt to the real green turtle soup set before him, when he said that it was almost as good as mock. The entertainment on this occasion was of the most varied character. The programme makes the following announcement: Friday, 4 July, 18-. At 8 P. M. the Doors will Open. Mr. Haweis will receive his Friends. The Royal Handbell Ringers will Ring. The Fish-pond will be Fished.
