I walk so much and come unexpectedly on such pretty nooks and studies, I just try to make a note of them, but it is really more writing than sketching; my sister says it is a cipher which nobody but myself understands. However, I'll try and explain just two because you really ought to go and see the places.
Aunt Rachel was superintending the making of preserves. Lisa was at work on the piazza. Phil was sketching. Slowly up the garden path came old Joe. He took off his hat and stood still a moment waiting for Phil to speak. "Well, Joe, what is it?" said Phil, hardly looking up, he was so busy. "This is just as fine as ever the garden of Eden was, but old Adam had to go, you know, Massa Phil."
It is prettily situated on the banks of the Little Saskatchewan, and has a picturesque wooden bridge thrown over the river. We had lunch, picnic style, and a rest of two hours. There was a large Indian camp just outside the town, and as we sat sketching several Indians passed us.
B.-P., you must know, is a first-rate actor, and in his boyhood it was one of his chief delights to write plays for himself and his brothers to act. Some of these plays were moderately clever, but all of them contained a screamingly funny part for the low comedian of the company our friend Ste himself. Another of his amusements at this time was sketching.
Fore-glimpses of the further development of the story led me to make him the child of a wealthy English nobleman, but born in a remote New England village. His artistic proclivities must be inherited from his father, who was, therefore, endowed with a talent for amateur sketching in oils; which talent, again, led him, during his minority, to travel on the continent for purposes of artistic study.
Truesdale left behind no precise indications of his movements. The only person to whom he announced anything like a programme was Arthur Fasten, who met him on the way to the station, with his bag in one hand and his kit in the other. "Off, are you?" called Paston. "Don't you begin the season rather early?" "Just for a few days," replied Truesdale; "a little sketching tour up North.
He looked into the drawing-room, then into the dining-room, still calling, "Madeleine! Madeleine!" He hurried on toward the well-remembered little boudoir. There Madeleine was sitting at her desk, quietly sketching. When, to her amazement, she heard the count's voice, she thought it was fancy; but the sound was repeated again and again. Those were surely his tones!
There is everything here that there is at Brunswick except the sea, a great exception. Yesterday I was out all the forenoon sketching elms. There is no end to the beauty of these trees. I shall fill my book with them before I get through. We had a levee at Professor Park's last week, quite a brilliant affair. Today there is to be a fishing party to go to Salem beach and have a chowder.
Alexander Forrest as surveyor to the party, you will do as much reconnaissance work in connexion with the colonial survey as it may be possible; and also, by taking celestial observations at all convenient times, and by sketching the natural features of the country you pass over, add much to our geographical knowledge.
Kellogg was not sketching the outlines of a gigantic practical joke; he believed implicitly in the feasibility of his project; and so strongly that he could infuse even the less susceptible fancy of Duncan with some of his faith. "If I didn't know you so well, Harry," said Duncan slowly, "I'd be certain you were mad. I'm not at all sure that I'm sane.
