A big fire burned in the stove, and round it was a wide semicircle of chairs. Against the wall were more, and a small table or two stood about. Nearly every chair had its occupant all sorts and conditions of officers, mostly in undress, and he noticed some fast asleep, with muddied boots.
When it reaches rocky ground it is a perennial burn, with many aquatic plants growing in its bottom. One peculiarity would strike anyone: the water never becomes discoloured or muddy. I have seen only one stream muddied in flood, the Choma, flowing through an alluvial plain in Lopéré.
I only recreated an imagination, fatigued by contemplating the vices and follies which all proceed from a feculent stream of wealth that has muddied the pure rills of natural affection, by supposing that society will some time or other be so constituted, that man must necessarily fulfil the duties of a citizen, or be despised, and that while he was employed in any of the departments of civil life, his wife, also an active citizen, should be equally intent to manage her family, educate her children, and assist her neighbours.
The miners carefully submerged the pots, and commenced to stir their contents with their doubled fists. The light earth muddied the water, floated upward, and then flowed slowly over the rim of the pots and down the current. After a few minutes of this, they lifted the pots carefully, drained off the water, and started back. "May we look?" ventured Johnny.
That child merely muddied the pond. The big fish was left for a young lady to hook. 'I know, I cried excitedly. 'Her name is Miss Mary Lamington. He shook a disapproving head. 'You've guessed right, my son, but you've forgotten your manners. This is a rough business and we won't bring in the name of a gently reared and pure-minded young girl.
I've tried them with him.... There are not many things we haven't done together." Doe tossed the string away. "I know I might have done well in cricket, but Freedham used to say that excelling in games was good enough for Kipling's 'flannelled fools' and 'muddied oafs. We thought we were superior, chosen people, who would excel in mysticism and intellectualism."
He hesitated to touch one; he cried out when three or four slipped off the pile onto the floor. "Missy, won't they git muddied up!" "They're to read!" she told him. "Listen," and she began to read poetry, prose at random. The Prophet did not know, he had never been trained to know as few men ever are trained how to combat feminine malice and spoiled power. He listened, but not with averted eyes.
Out of the shadow of the trees into the grassy space stepped an Indian; a second followed, a third, a fourth, one by one they came from the gloom into the sunlight, until we had counted a score or more. They made no pause, a glance telling them to what were due the trampled grass and the muddied water.
And why should I not complete my thought: the boars have muddied the clear stream; natural history, youth's glorious study, has, by dint of cellular improvements, become a hateful and repulsive thing.
Their great affair of the last century, which they have so marred and muddied, would never have occurred had it not been for Tuscan reform; 1848 was the echo of our societies; and the Seine will never be disturbed if the Tiber flows unruffled. Let him consent to Roman freedom, and 'Madre Natura' will guarantee him against Lutetian barricades."
