Yet farther out, below high-tide mark, there is commonly a layer of mud which represents the finer products of the mill. Boulder beaches are so quick in answering to every slight change in the conditions which affect them that they seem almost alive.
There came a day when two children, a boy and a girl of the name of Carver, ran up to Pen and asked her if she would join them in going round the next promontory and gathering shells in a wide bay on the other side, which was known as the White Bay. The way to this bay, except at low-water, was not very safe, as during high-tide the sea was apt to come up and cut off retreat.
Westminster was at first a large rural manor belonging to the Abbey before the erection of the Palace. A large part of Thorney Island is still only slightly above the level of high-tide. King Street was 5 feet 6 inches only above high-water mark. This was the foundation of Westminster.
"Well, the weather seems inclined to remain fine," said Miss Tredgold, glancing out of the window, where a very blue sky met her gaze. There were heavy white clouds, however, drifting quickly across the sky, and the young shop attendant said: "I hear that there's a storm expected. And anyhow it is high-tide to-night. The tide will come up and quite cover the White Bay this evening.

One man at least, an old friend of John Hunter, Sir Joseph Banks and others their compeers, was above the dismay, and the superstitious panic which accompanied it. 'The volcano in St.
With this allowance, it is written in the interest of good manners and good morals, and with enough of natural tact to keep the writer from getting far beyond her depth, although she does talk of "Goethe's Mignion" and "Miss Werner," whoever these personages may be, and of "the substantial fame achieved by the unknown author of 'Rutledge." It is written in the prevalent American newspaper-style, a style which is apt to be graphic, piquant, and dashing, accompanied by a flavor, slight or more than slight, of flippancy and slang, a style such as reaches high-tide in certain "popular" native authors, male and female, and in ebbing strands us on "Jennie June."

"There she'll stay," said Kinsella vindictively, "for the next twenty-four hours anyway. Do you feel that now?" Frank felt a sudden gust of wind and a heavy splash of rain. The sky looked singularly dark and heavy over the southeastern shore of the bay.
"Why, I get off here!" she exclaimed. "And so do I!" He almost laughed it out. "That's a coincidence." Dr. Blake refrained from calling her attention to the general flutter of the parlor-car and the industry of two porters. This being the high-tide time of the summer migration, and Berkeley Center being the popular resort on that line, nearly everyone was getting off.
