Phebe rubbed away her tears. "Yes, something was," she answered, with an attempt at her usual briskness. "You caught me off my guard, Mr. Barrett. The fact is, I am desperately homesick."

Your farmer friend will tell you that they are snow-fleas which are snowed down with the flakes; the entomologist will call them Achorutes nivicola and he knows that they have prosaically wiggled their way from the crevices of bark on the nearest tree-trunk. One's thrill of pleasure at this unexpected discovery will lead one to adopt sparrow-views whenever larger game is lacking.

Beastly, dirty things," he said prosaically. "No, I wouldn't be a green-grocer." "Well what? An engineer? A doctor, lawyer, parson?" "Why not a king now?" scoffed Sam. "Not enough situations vacant.

To begin with, she had never seen a mountain, and the picturesque in Canada is on too large a scale for the little details that give beauty to scenery.
"It was easy enough to see where the noise came from," she said, looking him over. "Yes, I supplied the noise and that only. It was Peter, please remember, who supplied the muscle." She declined to let her mind dwell on Peter. Peter possessed no charm. Besides, he was prosaically on the payroll. They continued to saunter along the sand.

Then instantly that second of actual vision is over, I am going prosaically about the day's business, but I hunger more than ever " "This," said the Grand Duke, "is insanity." "Yet I love better the dreams of the night," de Chateauroux went on; "for they are not made all of memories, sweetheart.
"The only question is how to get them," said I prosaically, for I'm always acting as a drag on Lilly's wheels. "True," she said with a tragic air. "Dear me!
