The man laughed. "Alâh!" he said; "whose son be you to give orders that fashion?" "Whose son?" echoed the child passionately. "I am " But Bija clung to his arm. "H'st, Mirak!" she whispered. "Remember what Head-nurse said that we were not to tell " Akbar stood irresolute; he was wise beyond his years. "But Horse-chestnut must not be hungry.
This is the excuse for combining two such diverse subjects in one study. From the new town of commerce to the old town of history upon the hill, the road is carried along a rampart lined, with horse-chestnut trees clumps of massy foliage, and snowy pyramids of bloom, expanded in the rapture of a southern spring.
"What did you do then?" "I lay in a barn till I got well I'm quite well now; you need not be afraid." "No, indeed; I had never thought of that." We soon became quite sociable together. He guided me carefully out of the town into the Abbey walk, flecked with sunshine through overhanging trees. Once he stopped to pick up for me the large brown fan of a horse-chestnut leaf.
Here I also saw the cork-tree in full luxuriance the caper plant growing amidst rocks the English oak the horse-chestnut broom magnificent mulberry trees of thirty-five years' growth, umbrageous and green. Beds of roses, in great variety, were spread around, and filled the air with fragrance, while the climbing species of that beautiful flower was equally pleasing to the eye.
It is endeared to me by many recollections, and it has been always a great desire of my life to be able to purchase it. Now that we have no other home, and the one we so loved has been foully polluted, the desire is stronger with me than ever. The horse-chestnut you mention in the garden was planted by my mother. I am sorry the vault is so dilapidated.

Emerson went to reside in the house in which he passed the rest of his life, and in which Mrs. Emerson and their daughter still reside. This is the "plain, square, wooden house," with horse-chestnut trees in the front yard, and evergreens around it, which has been so often described and figured. It is without pretensions, but not without an air of quiet dignity.
Miss Battersby is Lalage's governess, and she would not consider it right to spend the afternoon over a novel unless she felt sure that her pupil was being properly looked after. In this case she was misinformed. Lalage was not with her father. She was perched on one of the highest branches of a horse-chestnut tree.
James's Park, with its lake, its well-tended trees, its daisy-covered lawns, its flowerbeds, its may and lilac, laburnum and horse-chestnut, and with the towers of Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament rising behind it, is certainly more beautiful than the same piece of land was two thousand years ago in its natural condition.
You may tell how much moisture there is in the air in a given place by the colours of the autumn leaves; the horse-chestnut, scarlet near a stream, is merely yellowish in drier soils.
