Every year he would write home to his sister to sell another piece of land. It is known that over there they lived in real poverty. In a few years the little fortune the Doctor got from his parents was gone. Poor doña Pepa, kind old soul, even disposed of the house which belonged half to the Doctor and half to her sent him every cent of the money, and moved to the orchard.
Wanda nodded, her lips tight pressed together, her hands twisting about each other in her lap. For a moment there was silence in the little room. "Wanda, look at me, dear." Her eyes turned, wondering, from the window and the orchard beyond, and went swiftly to her mother. The words were very clearly a command now. The voice was lowered a little but had grown more insistent.
After this trial you will be in a position to know whether your trees need potash or irrigation by comparing with other trees adjacent. Besides are you sure that your lye dip was caustic potash and not caustic soda? The latter has no fertilizing value. Prunings as Fertilizer.

Had it been her privilege to let herself go, she would have taken her place near him with her eyes afire with her head held as proudly as any queen.

The gurgling rush of the creek, the scent of the flower-laden garden, and the stamp, stamp of a horse in the orchard as he attempted to rid himself of tormenting flies, filled my senses.

Then I pass down through our orchard to the river-side, and ramble along its margin in search of flowers.
Nightingales are calling to one another among the trees of the orchard, and the entire landscape seems imbued with their amorous music. What ecstasy to listen to them! What serenity their liquid harmonies spread over the smiling landscape, faintly revealing its beauties in the mild starlight. Who would think that preparations for deadly combat were going on through the serenity of such a night?
"Shall I light the lamp in the room?" "I think not," said Agatha, and smiled. "My story goes best with the twilight in the open. We had no lamps and pretty furniture in the bush." She was silent for a few moments, looking across the orchard. The fruit trees were blurred and dim and the pines were black, but the sky shone softly red and green above their ragged tops.
I know he has more important business in the orchard, or the barns, or the woods, or the south lot " "Meadow, please," corrected Jarvis, with a smile which suggested past efforts to teach Sally the nomenclature of the farm. " or anywhere that he can walk to in the mud, and come back covered with stick-tights, with a tear in his coat.
