And she is such a dear girl the first real friend after my own heart that I've ever had. The summer waned, and August burned itself out. "I suppose you will be going back to town next week? I shall miss you dreadfully," said Ada. The two girls were in the Embree garden, where Pauline was preparing to take a photograph of Ada standing among the asters, with a great sheaf of them in her arms.
"I don't know. Another of the president's little surprises, I suppose. We'll know when he sends for me." The expected summons came at that precise moment, transmitted by Penfield. Mr. Colbrith would like to see Mr. Ford in his private state-room in the Nadia. The secretary had a sheaf of telegrams in his hand, and wished to be directed to the wire office.
Yet it was not until the year 1658, when he himself was fifty-four years old, that he decided to tie together and to publish his first sheaf of them.
At Fürstenwalde, when the last sheaf is about to be bound, the master releases a cock, which he has brought in a basket, and lets it run over the field. All the harvesters chase it till they catch it. Elsewhere the harvesters all try to seize the last corn cut; he who succeeds in grasping it must crow, and is called Cock.
The man's shield and sheaf of assagais stood close at hand against the wall of the hut, and a ponderous knobkerrie hung just overhead, slung by a loop of rimpi; but the hut contained nothing to distinguish it from that of any other native, and I confess that my first feeling was one of disappointment, for I had never before been in the hut of a nyanga, and I had been led to believe by those who had that I should see all sorts of strange and weird-looking objects if I ever happened to penetrate to the interior of a Kafir witch doctor's hut.

"Joe Morgan hasn't turned up this evening," remarked some one.
It was my fourth evening in the bar-room of the 'Sickle and Sheaf'. The company was not large, nor in very gay spirits. All had heard of little Mary's illness; which followed so quickly on the blow from the tumbler, that none hesitated about connecting the one with the other.
All relate to Corporation accounts and to the financial affairs of the borough. Several are blood-stained." There was a shiver of horror amongst the women present as the witness handed over a sheaf of various-sized papers, indicating where the stains lay.

Thus, a blazing spear, a sword of flame, a bow, or a sheaf of arrows seen in the midnight sky, prefigured Indian warfare.
He stepped away and picked up the sheaf of papers which he had dropped at Peggy's entrance. Peggy laughed. 'Good night, Georgie boy, she said.
