Sally protested with mountain hospitality, but even under the moon she once more colored adorably. Adrienne turned up the collar of her sweater around her throat, and, when she and the man who had waited, stood leaning on the rail of the footbridge, she laid a hand on his arm. "Has the water flowed by my mill, Wilfred?" she asked. "What do you mean?" His voice trembled.
They ran across the fields to avoid falling into the hands of four or five hundred Prussians, Saxons and Badeners who, not satisfied with the blood-bath of the massacres in the town, had made a footbridge of beams and planks across the remaining arches of the bridge, and had come to kill any of our unfortunate soldiers whom they could find on the road to Markranstadt.
Gladys became silent also, and both felt relieved when the train stopped at Mauchline Station. The girl, whose only idea of the country was her acquaintance with the straight, conventional arrangement of city parks and gardens, looked about her with genuine wonder. 'My, she said, as they crossed over the little footbridge at the station, 'sic a room folk have here! Are there nae hooses ava?
The high road at the back of the towans crossed a stream, by a ford and a footbridge; and the travelling postman, if he had any letters for the Parsonage, would stop by the footbridge and blow a horn. He little guessed what challenges it sounded to the small boy who came running for the post. The postman came by, as a rule, at two o'clock or thereabouts. One afternoon in early spring Mr.

I have stood beside many thousands; not one has been unkind lacking in deference. . . ." A slight smile grew on her lips; she coloured a little, looked up at Berkley, humorously.
I let her pass, and as she turned the bend of the road I stole out to the footbridge and across it in pursuit. I knew now that the two wayfarers had not been phantoms of my dreaming; that she was following, tracking them, and that I must track and follow her.
Very soon he stopped and leaned over with his hands in the water, as if he were feeling for something. In a few minutes he came out of the stream, on the opposite side from that on which he had entered, and took a path to a footbridge leading across the creek toward his house.
He searched about, therefore, for a hiding-place in which to bestow it, and found one at length in a clump of alder intermixed with brambles, that overhung the stream a few paces beyond the gate, almost within the shadow of the footbridge.
The feeling began, presumably, through intermarriage and flourished like the celebrated milkweed vine of the foothills, which has been known to grow I quote a '49er, now dead, which is perhaps taking an advantage 12 inches in a day. The tale is told of a Chinaman crossing a suspension footbridge, high over a winter torrent, from one part of a mining camp to another. An Indian ran to meet him.
