The pleasant lake, the purl of the weir, the rudimentary lawns, shrubberies, and avenue, had changed their character quite. Ethelberta fancied at that moment that she could not have married Neigh, even had she loved him, so horrid did his belongings appear to be.
Why had this scourge of the mountain-desert spared her? Was it to track down Pierre? It was at this time that she heard the purl and whisper of running water, a sound dear to the hearts of all travelers. She veered to the left and found the little grove of trees with a thick shrubbery growing between, fed by the water of that diminutive brook. She dismounted and tethered the horses.
No fear and no favor; the open fields and the light upon the hills; morning, noon, night; stars, the bird-calls, the water's purl these are the natural inheritance of the mind of the child. Men call it poetic, those who are hardened fanciful. In the days of their youth it was natural, but the receptiveness of youth has departed, and they cannot see.
Please please!" it whispered. The grounds immediately appertaining to Craford New Manor are traversed by a brook. It is a pretty brook, and pleasing to the ear, with its purl and tinkle of crisp water. And now, as Anthony, heading for the Wetherleigh-wards exit of the park, approached the brook, to cross it, "Sh, sh please, please," a whisper stopped him.
She was upon them, and abreast, and gone, with a watery purl of her bow wave, a subdued mutter of exhaust, passing so near than an active man could have leaped the space between. "Sufferin' Jerusalem!" Barlow repeated, turning to Stella. "Did you see that, Mrs. Jack? They got him." Stella nodded. She too had seen Monohan seated on the after deck, his head sunk on his breast, irons on his wrists.
Purl and bullion must be cut very accurately into pieces of the required size, and attached to the material as a bead would be.
Besides these amusements, which were all for the lower orders as well as for the rich, they had their mug-houses, whither the men resorted to drink beer, spruce, and purl; and for music there was the street ballad-singer, to say nothing of the bear-warden's fiddle and the band of marrow-bones and cleavers. Lastly, for those of more elevated tastes, there was the ringing of the church bells.
"It's just that nobody will read the paper, and I'm just dying to hear the news. I want to keep up with the times." "Well, if that's all," said the Little Captain, sitting up with alacrity, "I'm always willing to oblige. Mollie, you're sitting on it!" "Knit one, purl two," chanted Mollie. "Wait till I get this needle off and I'll give it to you. I can't stop now!"
A third voice spoke in gruff admonition: "Shut up, you fellows! No names, please." After that silence, except for the slow chug of the engine and the purl of water, diminishing. They were gone. A breath of evident relief came from the unknown passenger in the canoe. "Pretty close, that," she whispered. "I guess we can go now, but it would be better not to talk till we get out on the bay."
Thence in rippling current they purl and tinkle down the gentle slopes, through bosky nooks sweet with the odors of fir tree and pine, over meads dappled with the scarlet snap-dragon and purple heath buds, now pausing for a moment to idle with a wood encircled lake, now tumbling in opalescent cascade over a mossy lurch, and then on again in cheerful, hurried course down the Appalachian valley.
