The earth beneath this overhanging mantle was moistly warm, like a woman when she rises; it exhaled sweet, luscious odors, which yet were wild, not civilized, the scent of cultivation was added to the scents of the woods.

"How have you slipped away, as soon as the sun is risen, from the sacred hut of Tu-Kila-Kila?"

Her did the golden-snooded Hours gladly welcome, and clad her about in immortal raiment, and on her deathless head set a well-wrought crown, fair and golden, and in her ears put earrings of orichalcum and of precious gold.
"Keep out," said Mr. Polly. Uncle Jim with a great effort got a footing, emerged until his arm-pits were out of water, until his waistcoat buttons showed, one by one, till scarcely two remained, and made for the camp sheeting. "Keep out!" cried Mr. Polly, and leapt off the punt and followed the movements of his victim along the shore. "I tell you I got a weak chess," said Uncle Jim, moistly.
Clerks and clergymen somehow maintain that youth of the flesh, as if life had preserved them in alcohol or shaving-lotion. Mrs. Ross entered then in her crisp but faded house dress, her round, intent face still moistly pink, two steaming dishes held out. He did not rise, but reached up to kiss her as she passed. "Burnt your soup a little to-night, mother."
He looked at her but fleetingly, and seemed to suffer from the heat, in spite of every manly effort not to wipe his brow too often.
