His cheery, gladsome presence, the Culm folk thought, was like a ray of sunshine in the gloom of their hovels. It was curious to see how those great brawny men confided in him, and watched to see him coming down the sands of a morning-time, with his basket of delicacies on one arm, balanced by a basket of more substantial food on the other.
One of His sending brooded over Redleaf when I walked forth in its morning-time to redeem my promise. "Miss Percival! I'm so glad!" Katie showed me into the room that once I had been so much afraid of. She did not long leave me there. "Miss Lettie would like to see you in her room." Sophie was right. She is almost well.
He was near to tears as he uttered his oath; but presently, when he turned back her sleeve to kiss the place where first his lips had lingered, they laughed together the tender laughter of lovers in the happy morning-time of life. Her Own Free Will "Well, it's all over now, for better, for worse, as they say. And I hope very much as it won't be for worse."
Cynthia, already aware of some vague power she possessed of stirring this man's emotions, did not fail to detect his air of restraint. "It isn't a proposition that calls for such a lot of calculation," she said sharply. "Good-night, Mr. Fitzroy. I hope you are punctual morning-time. When there is a date to be kept, I'm a regular alarm clock, my father says."
Following it with her eye roused her. A few whiffs of the raw, strong scent of phlox invigorated her. She passed along the path, hesitating at the white rose-bush. It smelled sweet and simple. She touched the white ruffles of the roses. Their fresh scent and cool, soft leaves reminded her of the morning-time and sunshine. She was very fond of them. But she was tired, and wanted to sleep.
I remembered the morning-time of our boyhood when we stood up for conflict with our young enemies, side by side obeyed the same rallying-cry, recognised the same objects, and were a sort of David and Jonathan to one another. Those days! they soothed and softened me while I recalled them.
But she had vivacity both of lips and shoulders. The shoulders were bony; the lips were sharp and red, like winter-berries in the morning-time. Freshness was not absent from her aspect. The critical objection was that it seemed a plastered freshness and not true bloom; or rather it was a savage and a hard, not a sweet freshness.
It was May, and he lay in his bed at morning-time, having been awakened out of his slumbers by the "small fowls," who were carolling forth their notes "some high, some low, and all of one accord."
Not bright, alas! with the brightness and the promise of the morning-time; but yet there are sunny afternoons; and the landscape was bright still, though long shadows from the past fell across it.
While I was chuckling to myself over this, and picking the twigs from my clothes, I heard the pistol-like crack of a bullock whip, and then, quite near at hand, the cries of a 'bullocky, as they called the bullock-drivers thereabout, full of morning-time vehemence. 'Woa, Darkey! Gee, Roan! Baldy, gee! Nigger! Strawberry! Gee, now, Punch! I'll y well trim you in a minute, me gentleman.
