The feeling, however, wore off, and she had spent a pleasant afternoon when Bland came for her as the shadows lengthened.

Sylvia said that she was ready, though she felt it would have been more satisfactory had Ethel been allowed to go back by train.
Most of these had sold everything they possessed, in order to make up a little bundle of necessary articles. Yet there were very many but ill-provided for a lengthened stay; they hurried along the road with the fallacious idea that gold was simply to be shovelled into bags and carted to Sydney.
I whistled softly to Simmons. That alarmed them the more. They lengthened their stride. So did I mine. One said something I could not catch. They half halted and made a brave attempt to pose as Germans, to judge by their guttural talk and brassy front. I could not explain, although I tried in the half light to show my friendliness, and Simmons, now a few rods away, did likewise.
Guns of every caliber mingled their explosions, and the long screech of the shells rushed through the air as though thousands of engines were chasing one another madly through a vast junction in that black vault. The men listened and waited. As soon as the guns lengthened their fuses the infantry advance would begin. Their nerves were getting jangled. It was just the torture of human animals.

The food-sticks which had been peeled off their bark during the winter furnished a good supply of construction material, and the dam was built up several inches higher, and was lengthened to the buttress-tree on one side, and for a distance of two or three rods on the other, so as to keep the water from flowing around the ends.
Simply this- -that the rich man shall be at liberty to make use of all the splendid luxuries he has collected around him, on any day in the week, because habit and custom have rendered them 'necessary' to his easy existence; but that the poor man who saves his money to provide some little pleasure for himself and family at lengthened intervals, shall not be permitted to enjoy it.
