There are no steep hills, but the road aims directly for its objective point, taking the visitor through growths of pinion, from which the Indians gather the delicious pine nuts, juniper, from the crushed berries of which they make a sweet and refreshing drink, and over levels where rich grama grass grows side by side with the cactus, the amole and the yucca, brightened and vivified by the Indian paintbrush, sunflowers, lupines and scores of other gorgeously colored flowers.
"Tell away, and don't mind if I go on working, as I want to finish this job today," answered Rose, with a long-handled paintbrush in her hand and a great pair of shears at her side. "You are always so busy! What is it now? Let me help I can talk faster when I'm doing something," which seemed hardly possible, for Kitty's tongue went like a mill clapper at all hours.
The tall grass in the meadow in front of the house was about this time laid low; nodding daisies, white and yellow, plumy meadow-grass and plain timothy, devil's paintbrush and soft purple grass flowers, alike lay in long rows dying on the ground. Delighted at last to possess the places so long tabooed to us by the heavy crop, my comrade and I went out the next morning on discoveries bent.
Polly's teeth seem loose in his head, and his skin feel like a misfit, and his hair a dry, stringy exasperation.... Why cannot doctors give us an antidote to the east wind? "Never have the sense to get your hair cut till it's too long," said Mr. Polly catching sight of his shadow, "you blighted, degenerated Paintbrush!

Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes he did it very cleverly with a soft paintbrush dipped in castor oil.
But in these violent times I remember with a curious vividness how you brandished a paintbrush about your easel when I was a boy; and how it thrilled me to think that you had so brandished a bayonet against the Teutons I hope with the same precision and happy results. Round about that period, the very pigments seemed to have some sort of picturesque connection with your national story.
Ranger Winess had been riding the drift fence while we worked, but he appeared on the scene with a big cluster of red Indian paintbrush blossoms he had found in a coulee. None of us asked if they were picked inside the Park. No bed was available, and again Ranger Fisk came to the rescue. He lent me his cot and another ranger contributed his mattress.
He occasionally writes reviews for The Nation, and has published a number of uneventful books. His writing is not distinguished or illuminating. With a pen in his hand he loses all his natural force. He writes, I think, as one who feels that he is wasting time. Like Mr. Winston Churchill, he diverts his leisure with a paintbrush.
"Gone downstairs to get a paintbrush," replied More Trees. "What'll Moon rise on?" asked Nyoda, knitting her brows in thought. "Take the piano stool," suggested the First Soldier, leaning on his weapon in a picturesque attitude. "The very thing!" exclaimed Nyoda.
