Here one may loiter and dream in utter restfulness, whilst the great white clouds mirror themselves in the water as they pass above. . . . I am walking upon the South Downs. In the valleys, the sun lies hot, but here sings a breeze which freshens the forehead and fills the heart with gladness.
I then walked forward, and looking well round to see that they were not on the forecastle, I sat down before the windlass and commenced operations. In a couple of minutes I had divided the two strands, and I went aft, where I found Bramble at the binnacle, in which a light was burning. "I have done it," said I, "and if the wind freshens at all, she will part."
It seems a long age, and yet our sufferings, and the fondness for each other that was created in that suffering, freshens in the mind. Dear, good George-my protector! she continued, clinging to me convulsively. Having gained her presence of mind, and become calm, she commenced relating what had occurred since we parted at Scorpion Cove.
"He may," said Jock, with great gravity, "but the thing is, everybody wants to have him; and then, you see, whenever he has an opportunity he likes to go abroad. He says it freshens one up more than anything.
Murphy forgot the traditions of the sea, forgot that Matt Peasley was the skipper and hence not to be questioned, and remembered that the madman was only a boy. "Captain Matt," he pleaded, "take some clothes off the old girl, for the love of life! She's making steamer time now, and if the breeze freshens you'll lift the sticks out of her."

The equator was crossed.
The matronly hen has retreated to the stable-door; and the brood of turkeys stand dressing their feathers under the open shed. The air freshens, and blows now from the face of the coming clouds. I see the great elms in the plain swaying their tops, even before the storm-breeze has reached me; and a bit of ripened grain upon a swell of the meadow waves and tosses like a billowy sea.
"Kit, you're a genius!" cried her brother, in admiration, as she came up, spluttering, and then made another dash. Soon Kitty's face was hidden in the folds of a rough towel, and the others successively followed her lead. "My! how it freshens you!" said Marjorie, rubbing her rosy cheeks till they glowed. "I'm as wide awake as anything!" "So'm I," said King. "Kit, I take off my hat to you!
"If these light airs hold they may overhaul us, because they can spread so much more cloth. But if the westerly freshens and it nearly always does in the afternoon I can outsail the Gull. I can drive this old tub full sail in a blow that will make the Gull tie in her last reef." "I don't like it when it's rough," the girl said wistfully. "But I'll pray for a blow this afternoon."
