So they made themselves ready in the freshest manner, and in the morning rode with the Queen a-Maying in woods and meadows as it pleased them in great joy and delight. The Queen purposed to be again with King Arthur at the furthest by ten of the clock. Now there was a knight called Meliagrance, who had at that time a castle, the gift of King Arthur, within seven miles of Westminster.
So while the Queen and all her knights were gathering herbs and mosses and flowers in the best manner and freshest, just then there came out of a wood Sir Meliagrance with eight-score men, well armed, and bade the Queen and her knights to stand. "Traitor knight," said Queen Guenever, "what intendest thou to do? Wilt thou shame thyself?
This was one of the best and freshest of the whole party, and but a slight delay was occasioned by the change. After this they kept up a good rate of speed for more than two hours, when Claude once more changed to another horse.

I do not know anything more picturesque than running down the east side of this beautiful island the ridges of hill spreading down to the water's edge, covered with the freshest verdure, divided at the base by small bays, with the beach of dazzling white sand, and where the little coasting vessels, employed to bring the sugar from the neighbouring estates, were riding at an anchor.
When the dull dawn came at last we saw a river before us and we knew it was the Loire; we entered the town of Gien, and knew we were in a friendly land, with the hostiles all behind us. That was a glad morning for us. We were a worn and bedraggled and shabby-looking troop; and still, as always, Joan was the freshest of us all, in both body and spirits.
The blossoms were almost gone. Small sprays lay faded on the grass where careless hands had scattered them. Somehow, it seemed to Dorothy that the tree knew all about the accident; if trees could only talk, she thought. Then, picking up a spray of the freshest blossoms, she hurried on. To Dorothy's surprise Mrs. Ford was very cordial in her welcome.
