Preston, who was a heavy man, was slowly getting up, when, catching a sight of me looking as fierce as the crater of Mount Etna, he gave a start back and lost his footing, and rolled over and over, walloping into the water at the garden's edge. It was not deep, and he came bubbling and snorting out again in as much fright as fury.
He was kneeling by her side at the Communion table, and a voice said, "As oft as ye drink of this cup" he was drinking of it now the cup the Master drank in the garden's gloom. Then the sobs overcame him. Again he was still. The storm had spent its fury, the moon was struggling through the rifted clouds.
And all the time Auntie Emmy was talking to Frances very loud and fast. "Frances, I do think your garden's too beautiful for words. How clever of you to think of clearing away the old flower-beds. I hate flower-beds on a lawn. Yet I don't suppose I should have had the strength of mind to get rid of them if it bad been me."
"I wonder what the garden's like." "We mustn't think of the garden yet," said Roberta, with earnest energy. "Let's go in and begin to work."
She is the kitchen physician, the chamber comfort, the hall's care, and the parlour's grace. She is the dairy's neatness, the brew-house's wholesomeness, the garner's provision and the garden's plantation. Her voice is music, her countenance meekness, her mind virtuous, and her soul gracious. She is her husband's jewel, her children's joy, her neighbour's love, and her servant's honour.
Ah, fortune's targe and butt was he, On whom were rained the strokes from hate From love that had not found its goal, From strange vicissitudes of fate. A galley-slave of Dragut he, Who once had pulled the laboring oar, Now, 'mid a garden's leafy boughs, He worked and wept in anguish sore.
"Snailin'," said Mr. Fletcher gloomily; exhibited his snail. "Snail elsewhere. Do not snail where I am." "I snails where there's snails." "Cease snailing. You must have been there hours." "What if I have? This garden's fair planted with snails." "Snail oftener. Depart." Mr. Fletcher moved a few steps; then turned. "I should like to ast if this is to be part of my regular job.
"I should deeply grieve were I to cause you greater risk than you have already run for Ada Garden's sake." "No harm is yet done," replied Nina. "I took care, thanks to my brother's knowledge of drugs, that all who were likely to interfere should sleep soundly to-night. I tried it as an experiment, that, on another occasion, I might be able to assist you in the same way. Now let us hasten back."
"Lady, your friends have gained the day," he continued, turning to Ada. "You have brought rain on my head, and you have your revenge farewell." Miss Garden's heart beat quick with hope. The moment of her emancipation had at last arrived, and he whom she loved had come to her rescue.
And Olive, deeply blushing though at what she scarcely knew fled into the house, and did not take her usual garden walks for some days. At last, when, one lovely spring evening, she stood leaning over the low wall at the garden's end, idly watching the river flow by beneath, she turned round, and saw fixed on her, with a curiosity not unmingled with interest, the dark eyes of "Maddalena."
