I should have hired a rig, irrespective of you " The girl laughed. "Oh, you're getting thin-blooded, Herman. Life in the city has taken the starch all out of you." "Better grow limp in a great city than freeze stiff in the country," he replied. An hour's ride brought them into a yard before a large gray-white frame house. Herman sprang out to meet a tall old man with head muffled up. "Hello, dad!
Island, key, reef reef, key, island with the intervening gaps of azure-emerald water, bridged, bit by bit, by the coral, to-day a sea-surface, to-morrow a gray-white reef, next day a mangrove hedge, and the next an expanse of spectacular verdure and glistening gray-white sand. So Florida was born. So, at least, its southern portion was born, and is still in daily process of birth.
Now it is a veritable mixing pat for the autumn colors to come, yellow with goldenrod, blue with asters, purple with Joe-Pye weed, rosy because of the hardhack, and rimmed with delicate gray-white of thoroughwort. These colors it will hold until the maples take fire and the green of birches pales to softest yellow at the expectation of October.
Before us three pools of water flashed like silver mirrors in the sunlight, and beyond them, tucked away in a sheltered corner of the hills, stood a little temple surrounded by a cluster of gray-white yurts. Our Mongol learned that the next water was on the far side of a plain thirty-five miles in width, so we camped beside the largest pond.
"I got tired of that stupid party and I well, I just slipped away" the clear high voice had grown conscious "and I looked in here, because I left a book behind me Auntie, who is it?" She bent eagerly over the miniature, trying to see it in the dim light. Miss Puttenham's face had faded to a gray-white. "Give it to me, Hester!" She held out her hand imperiously.
Only a woman who has been married can appreciate what sort of a hell for sensitive nerves and refined tastes marriage can be made." "Ah Mr. Arkwright!" At this interruption in a woman's voice the voice he disliked and dreaded above all others he startled and turned to face old Madam Bowker in rustling black silk, with haughty casque of gray-white hair and ebon staff carried firmly, well forward.
"About four or five thousand in all including the tailors and other tradespeople." A pink spot appeared in the left cheek of the old man very bright against the gray-white of his skin. Somehow, he did not like that word "tradespeople," though it seemed harmless enough.
On peeping out from behind the last pine, I found I had calculated pretty well, for there was the hollow, the big windfall, with its round, starfish-shaped roots exposed to the bright sun, and near that, the carcass. Sure enough, pulling hard at it, was the gray-white wolf I recognized as my "lofer." But he presented an exceedingly difficult shot.
They continued the duel upon the dry gravel below the finest and the whitest gravel ever you did see and they would apparently have gone on for goodness knows how long if a gray-white, thin, worn post a couple of yards away had not turned into a heron and stalked an ungainly stalk towards them.
The man met him at the broken dyke, and leaving the road they turned east up the side of a sparkling burn. The narrow strip of level ground was wet and covered with moss, in which their feet sank, but the hillside was too steep to walk along. It ran up, a slope of gray-white grass, to the ragged summit where the peat was gashed and torn.
