Ziethen, driving the rout before him, has driven it in some minutes past the little Oak-wood above mentioned; and, or rather BUT, what is much to be noted, is there taken in flank with cannon-shot and musketry, Daun having put batteries and Croat parties in the Oak-wood; and is forced to draw bridle, and get out of range again.
Constance passed into a green world. Three "drives" converged in front of her, moss-carpeted, and close-roofed by oak-wood in its first rich leaf. After the hot sun on the straight and shadeless road outside, these cool avenues stretching away into a forest infinity, seemed to beckon a visitant towards some distant Elysian scene some glade haunted of Pan. Constance looked down them eagerly.
This plate had been found on the northern point of the island, which for this reason we named Cape Inscription. When found it was half covered with sand, near the remains of a post of oak-wood, to which it seemed to have been originally nailed.
Thus the custom is almost exactly parallel to that of the Yule-log, which in parts of Germany, France, England, Serbia, and other Slavonic lands was commonly of oak-wood. The general conclusion is, that at those periodic or occasional ceremonies the ancient Aryans both kindled and fed the fire with the sacred oak-wood.
We both started and looked round to see my father standing in the rough porch of rugged oak-wood. The man went up to him. "You have made me uneasy about all this," he said, thoughtfully. "I will go on board the schooner, and see who is there among my neighbours. I should like to interfere if I could." "Better not, sir. May make bad blood after."
But the front one was dripped over with honeysuckle and virginia creeper, and looked upon the tree-tops of the oak-wood across the yard, while the little back window, no bigger than a handkerchief, was a loophole to the east, to the dawn beating up against the beloved round hills. The two sisters did not talk much to each other.
'It is exactly a year today, she said, as they-walked on the round shoulder of the down with an oak-wood on the left hand. 'Exactly! 'What anniversary is it, then? he inquired. 'Exactly a year today, Siegmund and I walked here by the day, Thursday. We went through the larch-wood. Have you ever been through the larch-wood? 'No. 'We will go, then, she said.
Only to her faithful hound, with whom she now began again to wander in the oak-wood, to him alone had she the comfort of declaring anything. This was a dog of fine old English breed and high connections, his great-grandmother having owned a kennel at Whitehall itself a very large and well-conducted dog, and now an old one, going down into his grave without a stain upon him.
Beyond the road, a full stream, white and foaming after rain, was dashing over a rocky bed towards some rapids which closed the view.

Above the oak-wood and along the road to the right mountain forms, deep blue and purple, were emerging from the mists which had shrouded them all day.
She said to her lord, "Let me go back for a little while to my native village, and my ancient home, that I may show them all my splendor, and my greatness.
