After dinner, however, he departed for a walk, taking his accustomed road toward Captain Howard's. When I returned from school he was still absent, and as Emma was quite well, she asked me to accompany her to my favorite resort, the old rock beneath the grapevine.
The God of David Bond being a God of peace, why trouble His ear? Why not pray this one prayer for blood to the Great Spirit he had served before the Great Spirit who marked out the destinies of the Dakotas, who was ever strongest in times of war? Hurriedly The Squaw got to his feet and ran to the edge of the bank, where there were climbing lengths of grapevine.
So they talked together about their garden, and their cow, and their bees, and their grapevine, which clambered over the cottage wall, and on which the grapes were beginning to turn purple. But the rude shouts of children, and the fierce barking of dogs, in the village near at hand, grew louder and louder, until, at last, it was hardly possible for Baucis and Philemon to hear each other speak.

Sometimes I've thought all I should say would be, 'Well, mother, you've got back, ain't you? Kinder like that." The beautiful afternoon light lay on the grass and turned the grapevine to a tender green. Jared looked upon the land as if he were treasuring it in his heart for a day of loss. When the sun was low, and green and red were flaming in the west, he rose.
"Well, bring it along," said Patty good-naturedly. "What else are you going to have? A grape-vine, I suppose, trained over the headboard of your bed." "No, Miss Patty, I haven't got no grapevine, but I've got a wandering-jew-vine in a pot, that I want to set on the mantel." "All right," said Patty, "bring your wandering-jew, and let him wander wherever he likes.
