One of these docks on a fine afternoon in summer is a very beautiful sight; all the tall masts and funnels of the ships are mixed up together like a forest of trees, and the blue sky peeps through them and the blue water ripples round them. When you saw this sight you would understand a little what a wonderful city London is, and how she sends her ships out to all parts of the world.
Johnny laid a handful of cigars on a table and stretched himself in a steamer chair. When the sudden daylight broke, silvering the harbour ripples, he was still sitting there. Then he got up, whistling a little tune, and took his bath. At nine o'clock he walked down to the dingy little cable office and hung for half an hour over a blank.
Did you ever camp in the woods on a moonlight night and listen to nature's voices? Have you seen the light flicker through the trees, and glisten on the little brook, its ripples breaking into molten silver as it glides away between banks o'erhung with fern and trailing grasses?
Uxbridge waited a moment at the door, and so there was quite a little sensation, which spread its ripples till Aunt Eliza was reached. She sent for William, whose only excuse was "dampness." "Uxbridge knew my carriage, of course," she said, with a complacent voice. "He knew me," I replied. "You do not look like the Huells."

In the sunlight their yellowness was gilded, and the faint quiver of the current brought ripples of green and blue; but as soon as the shade spread over it the stream became opaque like mud, so turbid in its venerable old age that it no longer even gave back a reflection of the houses lining it. And how desolate was its abandonment, what a stream of silence and solitude it was!
"The only thing to smoke on such a lake," he said, "is a fairy's pipe. Come, jewel machree, happiness is the aim of life. And my happiness for the moment, is to glide forth upon the bosom of that lake with you. Look, you can even see the gleam of silver shoes where the fairies dance upon the ripples." He was indeed moon-mad in mood and irresistible.
From beneath the Temple threshold comes the water of life; and wherever it is true that in any heart or in any community God dwells, there will be heard the tinkling of its ripples, and freshness and fertility will come from the stream.
The silver moon rose and lit the ripples on the lake that lay below my window as the last of the diners came from the café car. Along the shore of the sleeping lake our engine swept like a great, black, wingless bird of night. Presently I felt the frogs of South Parkdale; and when, from her hot throat she called "Toronto," the fat and fretful traveller opened his great gold watch.
And he saw with delight that the whirling ripples of light moved back of him; he felt that he was making some headway, slight though it must be. He saw her at last, and heard her call: "I am swimming, too," she cried. "How wonderful to see you! This loneliness! It is horrible unbearable!" "I understand," Chet said; "it is pretty bad."
