She always made comparisons in her mind, and saw things in pictured significance. It ran over many things now. The old house that had been patched and patched, and had one corner propped up from outside. The barn that was propped up all around and had a thatched roof that suggested an immense haystack.
A haystack and a boat are always picturesque objects, and so are the men who are at work to build or use them.
And he felt so worried about his friend the Major that though he went home at once, his wife complained that his mind wasn't on his work and that he was more bother than help to her. Some time later Major Monkey limped back to his home in the haystack, dripping wet. His fine coat was torn. And he had lost his red cap. When Jolly Robin saw him he asked the Major if he had had a good ride.
In my own apartment I examined my sword, tried its point, and went to bed, having ordered Saveliitch to wake me in the morning at six o'clock. The next day at the appointed time I was behind the haystack awaiting my adversary, who did not fail to appear. "We may be surprised," he said; "be quick."
The fairy-folk had all vanished now, and ghosts and goblins would come in their stead, and pounce upon her as she passed, if she were not quick. Beth scrambled down from the haystack, and made for the side-door in hot haste, and was half-way upstairs, when it suddenly occurred to her that if she locked the door, Jimmie-wimmie and Jenny-penny would not be able to get in.
The instant the matches flashed it was a hundred to one that the man would shoot, but I could not speak German, and there was no other way to make him understand.

They went out together, and the hum of riotous Benton called them; the lights beckoned and the melancholy night engulfed them. Next morning late, on the way to breakfast, Neale encountered a young man whose rough, bronzed face somehow seemed familiar. At sight of Neale this young fellow brightened and he lunged forward. "Neale! Lookin' for you was like huntin' for a needle in a haystack."
Their rifles are infinitely superior to these army muskets, and every man of them can hit a deer behind the shoulder at the distance of 150 yards, while at that distance most of our men would miss a haystack." The scouts and a few of the provincials who had been accustomed to forest warfare, took up their position behind trees and fought the advancing enemy in their own way.
Dobbin was making straight across a meadow. The kerosene soaked rags had pretty well burned out. They smoked still, however, and in the breeze once in a while a tongue of flame would dart forth. Dobbin passed a haystack, then another. He was momentarily shut out from Andy's view on both occasions. At his second reappearance Andy noticed that the animal had got rid of the hoop.
"If I'd happened to meet you when I was young and not bad-looking. It's only my age that keeps you from falling in love with me. The other one's the Queen of your suit, poor lady, that you sent the haystack of sunflowers to. Well Good-bye. Come and see me when you're in town 97 Curzon Street; don't forget."
