She returned early in the forenoon, carrying a small basket in which I saw a coil of the long creeping vine called 'At 'At by the natives, and which grows only on the sandiest and most barren soil. "Have you been sleep well, Mr. Sherry?" she inquired. "Indeed I did sleep well," I replied, "and, more than that, I have eaten a better breakfast than I have for many weeks."
"No," I said peevishly; "you can sleep if you wish to." "Well, Mas'r Harry, I do wish to," said Tom; "and that ain't nowise wonderful, when I was hard at work all lars night." Tom made no more ado, but stretched himself out in the sandiest spot he could find; and the next minute there could not be a doubt as to the state he was in, for he snored loudly.
With a climate mild and healthful, yet bracing; with a soil so rich that the touch of irrigation makes even the sandiest places bloom with the highest beauty of plant, tree, and vine; with an ocean warm and gentle, and skies the kindliest in the world, there is, if we judge by the lesson history teaches, a promise of a future for California greater and more noble than the world has yet known.
But immediately reproaching herself for this outburst, she added, "No, no! I ought to accept with thankfulness all that Thou sandiest me. Forgive me for these complaints, or punish only myself!" "Be of good courage, mother!" said Mother Bunch. "Agricola is innocent, and will not remain long in prison."

"I gave it up after my mother's death. I was fairly well equipped for work as a children's governess, so I engaged myself to " She stopped in dismay for he was laughing. "And now do you know what I think of you, Miss Hetty Glynn?" he cried, seizing her hands and regarding her with a serious, steadfast gleam in his eyes. "You are the pluckiest, sandiest girl I've ever known.
Of this I am convinced: the secret of life, and of all its good, is in love; and while we preserve this, we can never fail of comfort. The sweet waters will always gush out over the sandiest desert of our lives while we can love; but without it nay, not the merest weed of comfort or of virtue would grow under the feet of angels.
