The place was scarcely carried before Elder had his Portuguese at work spading a trench to the right of it and under what cover its walls afforded from the artillery of the town, which ceased not all night to pound away at the lost redoubt.
"You thought I'd be spading to keep from growing dotty. Good girl. Give it here." "But, Jeff!" Anne's voice flew after him as he went. Lydia felt herself grow hot, knowing Anne had taken the big first step that had looked so impossible when they saw him. She had called him Jeff. "Jeff, where are you going to spade?" "Up," said Jeff. "I don't care where. You always spade up, don't you?"
An exclamation interrupted him. It came from one of the relief party who had clambered into the cavern and was spading there in the loose soil. "What is it?" "A skeleton, sir! stretched here as natural as life." The General dismounted and clambered to the entrance, followed by his staff officer. As they reached it, the man stooped again and rose with something in his hand. "Eh? A begging-bowl?"
Even Pat Maloney, Roman Catholic though he is, would not take anything for spading up the ground for "our church garden." I am a conservative man. But I do wish Miss Moore could be chairman of our board of trustees for a year or two. Our Temperance Prayer-Meeting. IT is late in the fall. The summer birds have fled southward. The summer residents have fled to their city homes.
The girl smiled at his enthusiasm: "But, Karl, those funny, smooth brown things which resemble little polished evergreen-cones are not rare in my garden. Often, when spading or hoeing among the potato vines, I uncover them."
When she thought of it, "I don't so much mind the falling," said Kate to herself; "but I do seem to select the hardest spots to light on." Kate sat on the back steps, the sun shone, her nearest neighbour was spading an onion bed. She knew that presently she would get out the rake and spade and begin another year's work; but at that minute she felt too hopeless to move.
To this the pro-gardenites retort that the charges for seeds and fertilizer are small and that a certain amount of struggle with spade and hoe is good for a man who has spent all day in a stuffy office. Let him do his own spading, cultivating, and planting. A half hour or so every evening will keep the garden free of weeds and, in due time, vegetables fresh from the garden will result.
In Bohemia, if there is a particularly nasty and laborious job to be done, such as spading up manure in the rain or grubbing sugar-beets out of the half-frozen earth, they wish it on the dear old grandmother. She always seemed to me to be a grandmother or old enough for one anyway.
Now, the Lord Proprietor's terrible fond of bulbs; 'tis a new craze with him; and in spading over the border here I'd a-turned up a dozen or so of those queer-looking Lent-lilies you set such store by " Sergeant Archelaus pointed towards a little heap of daffodil bulbs carelessly strewn on the up-turned soil. These bulbs had a history.
As Thea approached the house she peeped between the pink sprays of the tamarisk hedge and saw the Professor and Mrs. Kohler in the garden, spading and raking. The garden looked like a relief-map now, and gave no indication of what it would be in August; such a jungle!
