David commented: "I wouldn't have et a thing till I'd got them!" In the ruddy reflection of the lamp his pink-and-blue charm, his shy lips, resembled a pastoral divinity of boyhood. Allen laughed. "That family, the Hatburns " He paused. "Why, they'd just mow you down with the field daisies." David flushed with annoyance.
Don't say that," spoke Bert in a low tone. "You'll scare the girls!" "Maybe we'd better go tell papa and mamma," said Nan. "Let's try by ourselves, first," suggested her brother. "We'll find Freddie, never fear." The children began a search of the barn, now almost filled with sweet- smelling hay. Up and down in the mow they looked to find where Freddie might have hidden himself away.
Then I look up at my mountainous straw stack with its capping of snow, and my corn crib with the yellow ears visible through the slats, and my barn with its mow full of hay all the gatherings of the year, now being expended in growth.
"Good people, you who are mowing, if you do not tell the King that the meadow you mow belongs to my Lord Marquis of Carabas, you shall be chopped as small as herbs for the pot." The King did not fail to ask the mowers to whom the meadow they were mowing belonged. "To my Lord Marquis of Carabas," answered they all together, for the Cat's threat had made them afraid.
It will mow down the hateful complexity of judicial procedure, with its booty for the somebodies, and its lawyers as well, who intrude the tricks of diplomacy and the melodramatic usages of eloquence into the plain and simple machinery of justice.
Sometimes as part of, sometimes in addition to, the week-work and the boon-work, the villain was required to plough so many acres in the fall and spring; to mow, toss, and carry in the hay from so many acres; to haul and scatter so many loads of manure; carry grain to the barn or the market, build hedges, dig ditches, gather brush, weed grain, break clods, drive sheep or swine, or any other of the forms of agricultural labor as local custom on each manor had established his burdens.

"Hang on to thim," said Mr. Hennessy, stoutly. "What we've got we must hold." "Well," said Mr. Dooley, "if I was Mack, I'd lave it to George. I'd say: 'George, I'd say, 'if ye're f'r hangin' on, hang on it is.
Let's get a move on and go to the old house." Silence was the only answer. "That's queer," murmured Jack, when he had made a circuit of the place, and had seen no sight of his friend. "I wonder if anything could have happened to him? Perhaps he went inside, and has fallen down the hay mow. I'll take a look."
The handling is woolly and unpleasant, but handling can be overlooked when a canvas exhales a deep sensation of life. The movement of mowing I should have said movements, for the men mow differently; one is older than the other is admirably expressed. And the principal figure, though placed in the immediate foreground, is in and not out of the atmosphere.
Even the less directly baneful spirits such as Finvarragh, king of the fairies, who haunts the stony slopes of Knockmaa, and all the endless variety of dii minores, the cluricans, banshees, fetches who peopled the primitive forests, and still hop and mow about their ruined homes, were far more likely to injure than to benefit unless approached in exactly the right manner, and with the properly littered conjurations.
