One August afternoon a flock of eight young partridges, of that spring's hatching, coolly marched out of the woods and into the clearing, as if they were bent on investigating their new neighbors. Or perhaps they knew that it was Sunday, and that the rules of the household forbade shooting on that day. If so, their confidence was sadly misplaced.
To make matters worse, the discovery was made that the big boys had left school to begin the spring's work, and no one wanted the photographs. Bankrupt and disillusioned, we returned to the realities of kites, marbles, and knives, most of which we had to obtain from Jimmie Elkins. "Yes," said he, "it's a good deal the same with booms. But if you understand 'em ... eh, Al?"
Early in the afternoon of the next day Belding encountered Dick at the water barrel. "Belding, this is river water, and muddy at that," said Dick. "Lord knows I'm not kicking. But I've dreamed some of our cool running spring, and I want a drink from it." "Never again, son. The spring's gone, faded, sunk, dry as dust." "Dry!" Gale slowly straightened. "We've had rains. The river's full.
I know of looks, to me more sweet and clear, Than Light's glad beam, than heaven's own blue, The Spring's soft breath, the flower's bright hue; None so true, As his I cherish here, Whose image is so dear. Will he love, and love me duly? Fairy flowers, tell me truly. What shall be my lot hereafter? Shall it end in sighs, or laughter? Pull them lightly! Count them rightly! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No!
Tharon flung herself down at the spring's edge, eased the right gun from under her hip, leaned on her elbow and prepared to listen. "Fire away," she said. Kenset laughed. "For goodness' sake!" he ejaculated, "I said visit. That takes two. What have you been doing?" "Well, everythin', mostly. Made a new shirt for Billy, for one thing. An' I showed Courtrey th' picture o' this."
Far beyond are the encircling heights some wooded, others under cultivation; cloud shadows pass over them like ghosts of the tragic events that made up the history of Bohemia and its capital. But the sunshine wins over the clouds and draws out the strength and glory of Golden Prague. Summer and autumn bring fulfilment of spring's promise of plenty, with fruit in abundance.
And that wuz how it wuz with every man in the meetin' house that wuz able to work any. They wuz all in a hurry with their spring's work, and their buzz saws, and their inventions, and their agencys, etc., etc., etc. And that wuz the reason why we wimmen wuz havin' such a hard job on the meetin' house.
Some day, when his fingers would be feeling for LeNoir's throat, he would drink long and fully that sweet draught of vengeance. He knew, too, that it added to the bitterness in his father's heart to know that, in the spring's work that every warm day was bringing nearer, he could take no part; and that was partly the cause of Ranald's gloom.
On these debatable borders of the year Spring's foot half falters; scarce she yet may know The leafless blackthorn-blossom from the snow; And through her bowers the wind's way still is clear." "Oh!" breathed Rosemary, with her hands tightly clenched. "Dear God, have pity!"
Down through the heart of France Tours, Poitiers, Angouleme past trim little French rivers, narrow, winding, still, and deep, with rows of poplars close to the water's edge, and still a certain air of coquetry, in spite of bare branches and fallen leaves past brown fields across which teams of oxen, one sedate old farm horse in the lead, are drawing the furrow for next spring's wheat.
