Cissy pouted slightly at this want of taste, which made some late election news or the report of a horse race more enthralling than her new hat and its owner. Even the toilers in the ditches had left their work, and were congregated around a man who was reading aloud from a widely margined "extra" of the "Canada City Press."
We were close to the coral reef before the cry, "There's Honolulu!" made us aware of the proximity of the capital of the island kingdom, and then, indeed, its existence had almost to be taken upon trust, for besides the lovely wooden and grass huts, with deep verandahs, which nestled under palms and bananas on soft green sward, margined by the bright sea sand, only two church spires and a few grey roofs appeared above the trees.
"No," answered Gretry, reflectively and slowly, looking anywhere but in Jadwin's face. "N no, I don't think we'd better wait. I think we'd better meet these margin calls promptly. It's always better to keep our trades margined up." Jadwin faced around. "Why," he cried, "one would think, to hear you talk, as though there was danger of me busting here at any hour." Gretry did not answer.
Hand, to play safe, had hypothecated nearly all his shares with various banks in order to release his money for other purposes, and he knew he would not dare to throw over all his holdings, just as he knew he would have to make good at the figure at which they had been margined. But it was a fine threat to make. Mr. Stackpole stared ox-like at Mr. Hand.
It was written in script that was a model of neatness, margined, correctly punctuated, and addressed, "Harold Vickers," with the town and State. Its title was "The Last Dryad," and the poetry of the phrase stuck in her mind. She read the first lines, then the first page, then two. "Come," said Rosella, "there is something in this." At once she was in a little valley in Boeotia in the Arcadian day.
The wooden houses, with their jutting storeys and quaint gable-peaks; the doorsteps and thresholds with the early grass springing up about them; the garden-plots, black with freshly-turned earth; the wheel-track, little worn, and even in the market-place margined with green on either side all were visible, but with a singularity of aspect that seemed to give another moral interpretation to the things of this world than they had ever borne before.
The loads were replaced on the horses, and over wastes of ice, across snowfields margined by broad splashes of rose-red primulas, down desert valleys and along irrigated hillsides, we descended 3,700 feet to the village of Digar in Nubra, where under a cloudless sky the mercury stood at 90 degrees! Upper and Lower Nubra consist of the valleys of the Nubra and Shayok rivers.
Upton Noble, a parish 2-1/2 m. S.W. of Witham Friary. The church has a small gable-roofed tower, and preserves in the E. wall of a S. chapel a defaced crucifix within a nimbus. The font is early. Vallis, 1 m. N.W. from Frome a prettily-wooded bottom, through which flows a stream pleasantly margined by a strip of pasture.
In speaking of white or pale flowers there is one low shrub with evergreen leaves and bluish-white flowers that I saw blooming in masses for the first time not far from Boston in early May. There was a slight hollow where the sun lay, that was well protected from the wind. This sloped gently upward toward some birches that margined a pond.
A second little pond in a marsh on a high plateau, at the foot of Mount Redfield, was also discovered, "margined and embanked with luxuriant and deep sphagnous moss," which was named by the party Moss Lake. It was found to flow into the Hudson.
