The terrain was fairly level, but a spirit level would have shown a marked tilt to the east. There was a fringe of timberland on every side. Landy pointed out places of interest. "That's Ripple Creek off to the left. Ye crossed hit last night on the bridge, and we meet hit agin right up by the house. That's Brushy Fork over at the right. They 'most come together up here.
When the "coming champion," as Billy's opponent was introduced, stepped into the ring he received a hearty round of applause, whereas there was but a scattered ripple of handclapping to greet the mucker.
Alice seconded her cousin's invitation tepidly, without any enthusiasm. James, with a face which did not reflect his disappointment, took his cue promptly. "Awfully sorry, but I'll be out of the city. Otherwise I should be delighted." Valencia showed a row of dainty teeth in a low ripple of amusement.
Dinner had been waiting for over an hour, and Lois was reading on the verandah, for it was a beautiful evening, with not a ripple on the surface of the river. She longed to be out there in her little boat where of late she spent so much of her time. To almost any one else this home-coming would have been a great pleasure, especially if the day in the city had been trying.
They kept to little frequented byways, and usually it was the early hours of morning, or the cool of late afternoons when they took the road. The heat of silent middays found them lounging beside shady pools, where the ripple of fretted waters filled the pauses in their talk.
The handsome gentleman on the other side of the desk allowed a ripple of merriment to float over his features and then spake as follows: 'All we got to do is to toll the bell in the old church tower and nine companies will answer like the fire department. You know I could have gone with the Paris 'Prince of Pilson' company, but those French gentlemen are so emotional.
Then would Baudoin and I have leapt overboard to swim to our loves at all adventure; but Sir Arthur here stayed us, and bade us think of it, that we were now nearing the Witch-land, and if we might not look to be beset with guiles and gins to keep us from winning to our journey's end; wherefore we forbore, though in all wretchedness, and the gay boat ran down the wind away from us, and the breeze and the ripple passed away with it, and the lake lay under the hot sun as smooth as glass; and on we went, weary-hearted.
And every now and then her eyes grew a little brighter, and there came a flush over her face, and a little tremor ran as it were all over her, like the ripple that comes and goes upon the bosom of a lake, stirred by a play of wind. So as she sat, it happened, that Babhru came slowly through the wood, looking for her, and knowing her customary haunts.
In places, for instance, the rounded, "bomb-proof" aspect of the expanses would be changed into the distinct contour of gigantic waves with a very fine, very sharp crest-line. The upsweep from the northwest would be ever so slightly convex, and the downward sweep into the trough was always very distinctly concave. This was not the ripple which we find in beach sand.
I've a curiosity to know: a remainder of my coxcombry. Not that exactly: a wish to see the impression I made on your friend. None at all? But any pebble casts a ripple." "That is hardly an impression," said Clara, pacifying her irresoluteness with this light talk. "The utmost to be hoped for by men like me! I have your permission? one minute I will get my ticket." "Do not," said Clara.
