He found himself at last in a little churchyard, lying far among the wild forest of his demesne, and in the midst of which, covered with ivy and tufted plants, now ruddy with autumnal tints, stood the ruined walls of a little chapel. In the dilapidated vault close by lay buried many of his ancestors, and under the little wavy hillocks of fern and nettles, slept many an humble villager.
Here a misshapen stone there a shattered column decaying walls, overgrown with nettles arches and caves, choked up with rank vegetation bespoke remains unheeded, and but rarely visited. George threw the boy a piece of silver heard his repeated cautions as to his way to Storta and wished him good night, as he hurried back to the cottage.
"Suppose Bjerregrav has just sat himself down in the nettles?" "Why? But what else could I have done?" said the old man uneasily. "The devil knows it won't be long before he's bankrupt. He's a frothy old rogue," murmured the master. "Has Bjerregrav got a note of hand?" The old man nodded; he was quite proud of himself. "And interest? Five per cent.?" "No, no interest.

To the left, big barns and byres a farm-man leading in a young bull with a pole at the nose-ring; beyond that, open fields, with a dyke and a flood-wall of earth, grown over with nettles, withered sedges in the watercourse, and elms in which the rooks were clamorously building. We met with the ready, simple Berkshire courtesy; we were referred to a gardener who was in charge.
The roof and thatch were burnt for firing, the mud gables fell in, and were overgrown with grass, nettles, and docks; and nothing remained but a foot or two of the little clay side-walls, which presented, when associated with the calamitous fate of their inoffensive inmates, rather a touching image of ruin upon a small scale.
The iniquity that cleaveth to men that profess, if they cast it not away, but countenance it, will a11 prove nettles and briars to them; and I will assure thee, yea, thou knowest, that nettles and thorns will sting and scratch but ill-favouredly.
