In the rooms heavy black cobwebs hung down, covered with dust; in the garden everything grew just as it would; hops and climbing plants ran like a net between the trees and bushes, and the hemlock and nettle grew larger and stronger. The blood-beech had been outgrown by other trees, and now stood in the shade; and its leaves were green like those of the common trees, and its glory had departed.
"But suppose, grand-papa" and, seeing in fancy the vast agitated flotilla of crinolines, she could not forbear a smile "suppose all the young ladies of that period had drowned themselves for love of you?" Her smile seemed to nettle the Warden. "I was greatly admired," he said. "Greatly," he repeated. "And you liked that, grand-papa?" "Yes, my dear. Yes, I am afraid I did.
Even he said that he feared that Jakie had stayed away too long. After months of treatment, the doctor shook his head saying: "I have done my best with the medicines at hand. The only thing that remains to be tried is a tea steeped from the nettle root. That may give relief."
"After that," I said, without noticing the remark, "we'll water this highest bed up here. You see it's getting quite dry and dusty." Bruno looked at me inquisitively, but he said nothing this time. "Then after that," I went on, "the walks want sweeping a bit; and I think you might cut down that tall nettle it's so close to the garden that it's quite in the way " "What is oo talking about?"
He has been employed by some company that intended to put in a power plant of some kind on Nettle River, and either the company broke up, or they found the plan was not feasible, or something, and they abandoned it. So Mr. Wentworth isn't doing anything, at present. But he is a fine fellow so jolly, and so good looking, and he has a wonderful war record. He was with the engineers in Russia."
Her sympathy and loving-kindness did more than these, her never tiring and ever cheerful watchfulness. She was deft, too, was Polly Ann, and spun from nettle bark many a cut of linen that could scarce be told from flax.
URTICA canadensis. CANADIAN HEMP NETTLE. During the late war, when, from unfortunate circumstances and misunderstandings amongst the potentates of Europe, the commercial intercourse was checked, great speculations were made among the people to discover substitutes for such articles as were of certain demand; and one of the principal was of course the article Hemp, which, although it can be partially cultivated in this country, is a plant of that nature that we should find the article at a most enormous price were we dependent on our own supply alone.
What progress Helen and her forces, a shatter-brain boy who did not know a violet from a nettle, and a London-bred girl who had hardly seen a rose-bush in her life, would have made in clearing this forest of underwood, might easily be foretold. Accident, however, that frequent favourer of bold projects, came to her aid in the shape of a more efficient coadjutor.
Before he committed himself to movement he deliberated long, and he never attacked until he had ample information. He ran risks, and great ones, but in war the nettle danger must be boldly grasped, and in Jackson's case the dangers were generally more apparent than real. Under his orders the cavalry became an admirable instrument of reconnaissance.
Feeling that while she was spinning he was dying, the Count ordered that her hands should be tied, and that they should not lose sight of her for one instant. But the guards fell asleep, the bonds loosed themselves, and the spinner spun on. Burchard had every nettle rooted up for three leagues round.
