'Have you really managed it all yourself, or did somebody help you? 'I have nobody to help me, answered the prince, 'but my own poor head. The old man got up from his seat and went away. That night, when the prince went to his master to hear what his next day's work was to be, the old man said: 'I have a little hay-stack out in the meadow which must be brought in to dry.
Hurlhurst all the information possible to assist him in the difficult search he was about to commence. If he gave him even the slightest clew, he could have had some definite starting point. The detective was wholly at sea it was like looking for a needle in a hay-stack. "You will lose no time," said Basil Hurlhurst, rising to depart.
'Such a relief to throw oneself into a bit of drawing! She looked down at her work. 'What hobby do you fly to? 'I mend the house-linen, and I tie down the jam, said Lucy, laughing. 'You have heard me play so you know I don't do that well! And I can't draw a hay-stack. 'You play very well, said Eleanor embarrassed, as they moved towards the dining-room.
ROUGH COCK'S-FOOT-GRASS. Has a remarkable rough coarse foliage, and is of little account as a grass for the hay-stack; but from its early growth and great produce it is now found to be a useful plant, and is the only grass at this time known that will fill up the dearth experienced by graziers from the time turnips are over until the meadows are fit for grazing.
The grass of the Barotse valley, for instance, is such a densely-matted mass that, when "laid", the stalks bear each other up, so that one feels as if walking on the sheaves of a hay-stack, and the leches nestle under it to bring forth their young. The soil which produces this, if placed under the plow, instead of being mere pasturage, would yield grain sufficient to feed vast multitudes.

When Whinnie came in with one of the teams, after his day a-field, I noticed that Peter approached him blithely and attempted to draw him into secret consultation. But Whinnie, as far as I could see, had no palate for converse with suspicious-looking strangers. He walked several times, in fact, about that mysterious new hay-stack, and moved shackward more dour and silent than ever.
Here and there a long wave-like line in the smooth mass would lead us to suppose that a wire fence lay buried beneath its curves, but we had no means of knowing for certain. Near the house every shrub and out-building, every hay-stack or wood-heap, had all been covered up, and no man might even guess where they lay.
When the ladies appeared they sure looked stunnin'. Miss Hampton has on a fancy flarin' collar two feet high, and a skirt like a balloon; but she's a star in it just the same. Sister Marjorie, who's a bit husky anyway, looks like a human hay-stack in that rig. And Vee well, say, she'd be a winner in any date costume you could name.
The Little White Feller rarely laughed, but now "You you Jolly boy!" he choked, "you'll find him under a hay-stack fast aslee No, no!" suddenly grave and solicitous of the other's feelings, "in the dictionary, I mean. Words, don't you know?" "Oh, get out!" grinned the Jolly boy, in glee at having made the Little White Feller laugh out like that, reg'lar-built.
