It is this mass movement, slow at first, but swift and irresistible when the mass has come to consciousness of its own tendency, which has always confounded astute persons who have been interested only in particulars. It is a movement like that of the Mississippi at flood-time. The great river flows within its banks as long as it can.
"With the introduction of this new system, the business increased like a river at flood-time. All rivals were left far behind, and Ti Hung put out this sign: "NO WAITING HERE! "Good-morning! Have you worshipped one of Ti Hung's refined ninety-nine cash idols?
The sun was up on the twenty-ninth morning of the second month of the over-flow of the Nile, The Egyptians divided the year into three seasons of four months each. Flood-time, seed-time and Harvest.
In very rainy weather any one looking down upon it from a height could see that there was a sort of islet in the middle, but no one could have reached it with a boat unless in flood-time; and in very dry weather, when some of the ridges lay uncovered, the water-channels became thick black mud. Nothing in all this, however, gave serious cause for uneasiness.
The police sergeant in charge knew me at once, having stopped at my house more than once in flood-time for a cup of hot coffee. "Sit down, Mrs. Pitman," he said. "I suppose you are still making the best coffee and doughnuts in the city of Allegheny? Well, what's the trouble in your district? Want an injunction against the river for trespass?"

This banks up the water, we have already seen, among the hills into a prodigious lake when the great swirl of the river comes down at flood-time, and thus much of it, which would have rushed away and been lost, is stored and let out gradually through the sluice-gates as required. Then we change on to one of Cook's steamers, and for days we fly down-stream to Cairo.
By some means we can't understand these mighty blocks of sandstone composing this temple and many others were brought from a place farther up the river. It is supposed that they were put on great rafts and floated down at flood-time, but the handling of them is still a mystery.
New Zealand is a land of streams of every size and kind, and almost all these streams and rivers have three qualities in common they are cold, swift, and clear. Cold and swift they must be as they descend quickly to the sea from heights more or less great. Clear they all are, except immediately after rain, or when the larger rivers are in flood. In flood-time most of them become raging torrents.
This was the flood-time of roses, and it was exquisite in the flower-corner with the soft wind picking up their fragrance and squares of limpid sunlight standing on the wet flagstones.
