After their usual conscientious and minute examination of the objects of historical interest, they betook themselves with their lunch-basket to a quiet corner of the park, by a clear little stream, on the other side of which a pair of white swans were building a nest. It was very still, and what faint breeze there was barely stirred the trees.
"Oh! no trouble at all," said the affable stranger; then turning to Dexie he relieved her of her armful of wraps, with a simple "Allow me, please," and started away with Lancy, who was carrying the so far unused lunch-basket, leaving the girls to follow at their own pace. "Oh, Dexie! weren't you startled when that man spoke from the window?" said Elsie. "I thought I should faint away with fright."
He was born back here about a mile that's why he comes here for his holiday." Fin stopped stowing cargo two bottles of soda, a piece of ice in a bucket, two canvases, my big easel and a lunch-basket and moving his cap back from his freckled forehead said, with as much gravity as he could maintain: "I ought to have been a barrister, sor; I started as one." The statement did not surprise me.
There'd be no loafers in the world if each man found the thing that he could do best; but the only work I happen to want to do is useless so I have to give it up. To-morrow I'll be a day-laborer."

Inside I found a complete suit of flannel clothes with a blanket and, better than all, a lunch-basket. My friend explained that he had bought the clothes as he came down to the depot, thinking, as he said, 'that they would be much better than your regimentals, and suggested that I doff the one and don the other.
In their rear, carrying the lunch-basket, marched the Agent-General and Holford the hired chauffeur. 'I say, said the Agent-General, nodding at the darkened khaki backs. 'If that's what we've got to depend on in event of war they're a broken reed. They ran like hares ran like hares, I tell you. 'And you? I asked. 'Oh, I just sauntered back over the bridge and stopped the traffic that end.
At the same moment the entire party shifted positions to make room for some new arrivals in the waiting-room, and Betty was jostled so that she was obliged to dodge a corpulent woman with a carpet-bag and a lunch-basket. When she recovered her balance she found herself out of range of Doctor Bradford's voice, but almost touching elbows with Bernice.
Besides, the raspberries and blackberries, instead of being Doolittle Blackcaps, and Kittatinnies, and tied up to nice stakes in civilized little plantations, grew away off upon steep hill-sides, and in the edges of woods, by old logs, and around stumps; and it took at least three girls, and half a day, and a lunch-basket, and torn dresses, and such clambering, and such fun, to get them!
So for a moment he saw Brenda as a thing solely of form and color, a white shape against a ground of gloom, and took new account of the fact that the little girl who had had pigtails when he first knew her, and gone to the Diaconesse with lunch-basket and satchel of books, had from one season to the next, stealthily, as it were, and while his back was turned, become beautiful.
