What with the six of us, and the store, and the baby, and sometimes a "greener" or two from Polotzk, whom we lodged as a matter of course till they found a permanent home what with such a company and the size of our tenement, we needed to get out almost as much as our neighbors' children.
I think I never saw the meadows richer and greener and the lilacs are still blooming, and the catbirds and orioles are here. The oaks are not yet in full leaf, but the maples have nearly reached their full mantle of verdure they are very beautiful and charming to see. It is curious how at this moment of the year all the world seems astir.
For that Creed must answer later. The fact that concerned him now was that the greener continued to be a menace to his scheme. Had Creed in some manner bungled the job? Or had he passed it up? He must find out how much the greener knew. The boss guessed that if the other had unearthed the plot, he would force an immediate crisis.
The weather had been warm and sultry, but a thunder shower had cooled and cleared the atmosphere, and the earth was rejoicing in the baptism it had received. The trees seemed to ripple with laughter, as the breeze shook the raindrops from their leaves. The grass was greener, the flowers brighter on account of that same baptism. The birds sang a sweeter song.
With many lizards the sexes differ slightly in colour, the tints and stripes of the males being brighter and more distinctly defined than in the females. This, for instance, is the case with the above Cophotis and with the Acanthodactylus capensis of S. Africa. In a Cordylus of the latter country, the male is either much redder or greener than the female.
Percy, who had hitherto kept up bravely, threw himself on the ground, almost in despair. "Oh, I am so thirsty! What shall we do?" he cried. "I'll tell you what we must do get up and push along," answered Denis. "I fancy that I see some more trees, much greener than any we have yet passed, and the chances are we shall find water near them." Percy, thus encouraged, got up.
His jaw wagged weakly, his flabby lips sagged open, exposing the jagged, brown teeth, and he passed his hand uncertainly across his eyes. "It's the greener," he mumbled thickly. "It's the greener hisself." Another rollway rumbled into the river, and Bill leaped into the open. "Stop!" he cried. "It's murder! There are men on that drive!"
And my FRIENDS my real friends will not listen to mean, ridiculous gossip. Good night." So that was the end of that attempt at asserting the Divine Right by the South Harniss king of hearts. Albert was more miserable than ever, angrier than ever not only at Raymond and Helen, but at himself and his newly-discovered jealousy burned with a brighter and greener flame.
The huge two-wheeled carts drawn by six, eight or ten mules, came lumbering through the dust at all hours of the twenty-four, bringing the produce of the greener lands to this oasis of the Aragonese desert.
Village belfries, steeples and towers; airy green ridges of heights, and intricate greener valleys: now rather barer than you like. The Tourist tells me, in Friedrich's time there must have been a great deal more of wood than now. Friedrich, for some time, probably ever since Wednesday morning, when he found the Stromberg was not to be his, had decided to be out of this bad post.
