Fairchild was vaguely aware that the spray-like mustache was working like a dust-broom, that snappy blue eyes were beaming upon him, that the big red nose was growing redder, while a tremendous paw had seized his own hand and was doing its best to crush it. "Blimed if I 'ave!" came again. "You're your Dad's own boy! You look just like 'im! Don't you know me?"
The keys of the hornbeam come twirling down: the hornbeam and the birch are characteristic trees of the London landscape the latter reaches a great height and never loses its beauty, for when devoid of leaves the feathery spray-like branches only come into view the more. The abundant bird life is again demonstrated as the evening approaches.
The flag is the long narrow green leaf of the wheat; in jag means the spray-like drooping awn of the oat; and the hail is the beard of the barley, which when it is white and brittle in harvest-time gets down the back of the neck, irritating the skin of those who work among it. But nowadays, thundered Hilary in scorn, all farmers grow oats, and, indeed, anything in preference to wheat.
Nowadays people will scarcely believe that there are men whose whole course of life is determined by such baseless and centrifugal ideas. Such a species of human ambition is certainly a great rarity. It resembles that cryptogram which goes by the name of "star-ashes," whose tremulous spray-like masses only appear in rare seasons and odd places after the warm summer rains.
One is the Festival of May, when her hoary walls and ancient enclosures overflow with emerald and white, rose-color and purple and gold, a foam of leafage and blossom, breaking spray-like over edges of stone, gray as sea-worn rocks.
A light sheeted fog, of varying thickness and density in the different portions of the wide expanse, here thin and spray-like, as if formed of the breath of some marine monster, and there thickening to the appearance of the stratiform cloud, lay low stretched, in long, slow-creeping undulations, over the bosom of the waveless lake. "The first on the ground, after all," exclaimed Mr.
"You see the quill part runs in the middle from one end to the other; this is called the shaft. On each side of it all along, except just at the root, the spray-like parts grow. They are called the webs or vanes. Now look through this magnifying glass at the web." The children looked in turn, and each, exclaimed in wonder at the sight. "Yes, it is very wonderful.
Having swallowed the mess of jellyfish and squid, she would open her mouth again, and wait for another lot to come in. It was a very easy and comfortable way to get a bite of breakfast, while waiting for her baby to finish nursing. And every little while, from the big blowhole or nostril on top of her head she would 'spout, or send up a spray-like jet of steamy breath.
The blood dries up when the feather has unfolded to its full size, leaving it light and dry, with a horny part at the root that sticks in the hole where it grew, and a spray-like part that makes up most of the feather.
Above the wilderness on a dead treetop, the perch of an eagle now flashing like a yellow weather-vane, a thrush poured the spray-like far-falling fountain of his notes over upon the bowed woods. Beneath him the dull green domes of the trees flashed as though inlaid with gems, white and rose.
