"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me, the poor dappled foals, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should, in their own confines, with forked heads Have their round haunches gored." As You Like It, II.i.21-25 Hurry Harry thought more of the beauties of Judith Hutter than of those of the Glimmerglass and its accompanying scenery.
A squadron of ducks, on their way from the Arctic Circle to the Gulf, had taken stop-over checks for the Glimmerglass; and now they came loitering along through the dead bulrushes, murmuring gently, in soft, mild voices, of delicious minnows and snails, and pausing a moment now and then to put their heads under and dabble in the mud for some particularly choice morsel.
He takes the whole front of the block on Broadway with fifteen windows in front and all of marble. With the tenderest regards to all, I remain yours Most affectionately, J.F.C. Miss Cooper makes alive each season's charms, as they pass over the Glimmerglass and wane beyond Hannah's Hill.
At the eastern end of the Glimmerglass there is a broad strip of sand beach, where, if there happens to be a breeze from the water, one can walk and be quite free from the flies; though in calm weather, or with an offshore wind, it is not much better than the woods.
The dog's work was done, and he stood on the bank and watched her go. For a few minutes she thought that she was out of danger, and that the friendly Glimmerglass had saved her; but presently she heard a sound of oars, and turning half-way round she lifted her head and shoulders out of the water, and saw a row-boat and three men bearing down upon her.
A few days later the first pages of the new book were written. When the touch of Time was frosting his own head, he leads Natty, as a youth, over the first warpath of his hero. And so the "Glimmerglass" and its "Mt. Vision" country grew into the story of "The Deerslayer"; it is "the very soul of the little lake overflowing with youthful freshness and vivid with stirring adventure."
Not much, perhaps; yet they climbed the same tree, ate from the same branch, and drank at the same spring; and the next April there was another arrival in the old hollow log twins, this time, and both of them alive. But the Porcupine never saw his children, for a wandering fit seized him, and he left the Glimmerglass before they were born.
During the years which followed he was occupied in various ways, and some of the best recollections of my boyhood are of the days and the nights which I spent with him on his fishing-tug, steaming about the Straits of Mackinac and the northern part of Lake Huron. But he could not forget the Glimmerglass, that little wild lake up in the woods.
He was heading toward the hollow tree by the Glimmerglass that he and his mate called home, but he had not made more than half the distance, and his strength was nearly gone. Half-way between midnight and dawn he reached the edge of a steep and narrow gully that lay straight across his path.
Perhaps the conjugal happiness of the spring and early summer was all the better for a taste of solitude during the rest of the year. As I said, the time was near when the chick would strike out for himself. He soon left his mother, and a little later she too started for the Gulf of Mexico. Summer was over, and the Glimmerglass was lonelier than ever.
