'No, she said, 'I must ne'er go to the Hunter's Spinney not till doom breaks! She said her prayers under the shelter of that resolve, with a supplementary one written out very neatly in gold ink by Edward, who wrote, as his mother said, 'a parchment script. But when she lay down she could not keep her mind clear of Reddin; during each meeting with him she had been more perturbed.
The jeath pack's about here in the twilight, so they do say. They looked up into the dark steeps, and the future seemed to lower on them. 'Maybe summat bad'll come to us in this spinney, she whispered. 'Nothing bad can come to you when you are in God's keeping. There canna be many folk in His keeping, then. 'Do you say your prayers, Hazel? he asked rather sadly. 'Ah!
I know what your name will accomplish in that convention. You shall be Governor of this State without making pledge or promise. Will you stand?" "I ask you again, Thelismer, if there is no other way?" "Any other way means Spinney and mob rule." General Waymouth turned to Harlan. "Go out and tell the honest young men of this State that I will try to satisfy their ideals.
I have lived much of my life in towns; and there, even if one is not conscious of distinct sound, there is a blurred sense of movement in the air, which dulls the ear.

It would have tickled my pride a little to defeat Spinney, but I am inclined to think I should have found it rather a bore to be only one Congressman among so many." "Just think of it, one hundred and fifteen more votes would have given you the election. It seems hard to have missed it by so little. You mustn't think me a goose about you, Fred," she added, after a thoughtful pause.
Mist soft, woolly, and intensely white lay across the far plain in drifts, filled the valley, and stood about the distant hills almost to their summits. The tops of Hunter's Spinney, God's Little Mountain, and the hill behind Undern stood out darkly green. The long rose-briars, set with pale coral buds, looked elvish against the wintry scene.
'Come on, man, said Charteris quickly, 'before he gets his wind again. We mustn't be booked trespassing. Tony recognized the soundness of the advice. They were out of the Spinney in two minutes. 'Now, said Charteris, 'let's do a steady double to the road. This is no place for us. Come on, you man of blood. When they reached the road they slowed down to a walk again. Charteris laughed.
Now, i' God's name, let's have your tale. What's the rogue to you?" "Oh, sir, a great joy. Why, he gave me the only knight-errant ever I had.
