I was not hurt, and sprang to my feet with the alacrity of fright, and looking at the body saw that it had managed by its fall much better than my hands could have compassed; for the snow shroud was cracked and crumpled, slabs of it had broken away leaving the cloth of the coat visible, and what best pleased me was the sight of the end of a hanger forking out from the skirt of the coat.
So we went round by an alluring road to its forking, where, looking up to the left, we could see a pretty village behind Lombardy poplars, and coming down toward us in a victoria for their afternoon drive, two charmingly dressed ladies, with bright parasols, and looking very county-family, as we poor Americans imagine such things out of English fiction.
"May his face be blackened that directed me. I thought surely I could not miss the way, and yet-" We cast back and could see no trail forking from the one we were on. There was nothing for it but to trust to luck and push on. But I began to be uneasy and so was the man.
Carleton ever arrived from the Pool. One morning she was busy in dressing the strawberry beds, forking up the ground between the plants and filling the vacancies that the severe winter or some irregularities of fall dressing had made. Mr. Skillcorn was rendering a somewhat inefficient help, or perhaps amusing himself with seeing how she worked.
Amory's is about as lively as a workhouse. I'm not forking out on this occasion. Taylor's smugs must do all that is necessary to be done." "Well," said Philips, "all the other fellows have given in their names, bar you and Todd." "Oh!" said Jim, with sudden interest, "you've asked Todd, have you?" "Of course. Gus seemed rather waxy that he should be called upon.
It was with difficulty that he kept the trail, for there were many paths through the jungle at this point crossing and crisscrossing, forking and branching in all directions, and over them all had passed natives innumerable, coming and going.
To-morrow, in the natural sun, the skies will be bright; those who glared like devils in the forking flames, the morn will show in far other, at least gentler, relief; the glorious, golden, glad sun, the only true lamp all others but liars!
Would dry wood be able to hold its own against a raging fire for half an hour? Of course the conductor thought it would; but even conductors are not infallible; and you may imagine how comfortable it was to sit and know that a fire was in full blast beneath you, and to look down every few minutes expecting to see the flames forking up under your feet.
So, instead of forking off the main trail to the north we went straight ahead. In due time I came to the bridge which I had to cross in order to get up on the dam. Here I saw in an absent-minded, half unconscious, and uninterested way one more structure built by architect wind.
In the coast region it is a good practice to graft over the whole tree at one time, cutting, however, above the forks and not into the main stem below the forking. This gives many scions which seem able to take care of the sap successfully.
