For instance, it was the end of August at the level of the sea; in the Kandersteg valley at the base of the pass, we found flowers which would not be due at the sea-level for two or three weeks; higher up, we entered October, and gathered fringed gentians. I made no notes, and have forgotten the details, but the construction of the floral calendar was very entertaining while it lasted.
A large lumber sleigh, drawn by four horses, was soon seen dashing through the leafless bushes which fringed the road. The leaders were of gray, and the pole-horses of a jet-black.
Mighty was the wilderness, majestic in its sweep, and depth of color, and the lone human figure fitted into it perfectly, adding to it the last and finishing touch. He blended, too, with the forest. His dress, wholly of fine, tanned deerskin, was dyed green, the hunting shirt fringed, hunting shirt, leggings and moccasins alike adorned with rows of little beads.
Lend a hand and get me out!" bawled Sam, anxiously waiting for his deliverer to appear, for he could only see a hat bobbing along behind the hazel-bushes that fringed the lane.
She's home now." "You knew her aunt died?" said Jerry speciously. It was foolish, he knew it was foolish, and yet he could not, in his craving for some amplification of the fact, help saying it. "Yes," said Raven, "I knew it." There the topic died. They were passing the last stretch of woods that fringed the road before Raven's own house.
"Well, summer's the time for squaws to travel." "I come nex' summer," she said. By-and-by Nicholas returned with a new parki and a pair of wonderful buckskin breeches not like anything worn by the Lower River natives, or by the coast-men either: well cut, well made, and handsomely fringed down the outside of the leg where an officer's gold stripe goes. "Chaparejos!" screamed the Boy.
When in town, Saxon carried her oilcloth-wrapped telescope in her hand; but it was so arranged with loops, that, once on the road, she could thrust her arms through the loops and carry it on her back. When she did this, the tiny ukulele case was shifted so that it hung under her left arm. A mile on from the lineman, they stopped where a small creek, fringed with brush, crossed the county road.
Prince Karl, fringed with Tolpatchery in this manner, but with much desertion, much dispiritment, in his main body, the HOOPS upon him all loose, so to speak, staggers zigzag back towards Budweis, and the Lobkowitz Party there; intending nothing more upon the Prussians; capable now, think some NON-Prussians, of being well swept out of Budweis, and over the horizon altogether.
Even the ponies picked up their heads, as if they, too, saw rest. The procession wound round the base of a hill, and then each boy uttered a little gasp. Before them lay a valley, about a mile wide, down the center of which flowed a shallow yellow river fringed with trees and also with undergrowth, very dense in places.
Fringed with lofty hills of luxuriant foliage, with a mountain stream meandering through the heart of the valley, and with the fertile prairie extending on either side, waving with grass and flowers, a scene is presented which is quite enchanting. This valley Maxwell and Carson selected for their vast farms, or ranches, as they were called, containing thousands of acres.
