I'll take him down by Woodford, over the Devil's Mouth, it's eighteen foot wide this minute with the late rains, into the four callows; then over the stone-walls, down to Dangan; then take a short cast up the hill, blow him a bit, and give him the park wall at the top. You must come in then fresh, and give him the whole run home over Sleibhmich.
He would like to "glide for a long summer-day through the streets and between the old stone-walls unseen come and unheard go." But he must guard himself against being overwhelmed by recollection: "Oh, me! to find myself some late sunshiny Sunday afternoon, with my face turned to Florence 'ten minutes to the gate, ten minutes home! I think I should fairly end it all on the spot."
Neither is the pedestrian so cruelly shut into narrow lanes, between high stone-walls, over which he cannot get a glimpse of landscape. As I walked by the hedges yesterday I could have fancied that the olive-trunks were those of apple-trees, and that I was in one or other of the two lands that I love better than Italy.
So, long before I left, the gleam of sunshine had left the narrow window and was hidden from the rest of the long room by the gray stone-walls of another building which rose up outside. But as long as they lingered over the machine that I was watching, I saw, as though human fingers were placing them there, rays of sunlight woven in among the green leaves and brilliant flowers.
'I want to see a cub-hunt, broke in Nina. 'Do you mean that you ride to hounds, Cousin Nina? asked Dick. 'I should think that any one who has taken the ox-fences on the Roman Campagna, as I have, might venture to face your small stone-walls here. 'That's plucky, anyhow; and I hope, Joe, it will put you on your metal to show yourself worthy of your companionship.
It appeared scarcely more than a lane; the old wheel-ruts were hidden between green weedy ridges, the bordering stone-walls looked like long green barrows, being overgrown with poison-ivy vines and rank shrubs. For a long way there was no house except Sylvia Crane's. There was one cellar where a house had stood before Barney could remember.
When she was out-doors she glanced at the post-mark and saw it was Edgham. When she came to a lonely place in the road, when she was walking between stone-walls overgrown with poison-ivy, and meadowsweet, and hardhack, and golden-rod, she opened the letter. Just as she opened it she heard the sweet call of a robin in the field on her left, and the low of a cow looking anxiously over her bars.
The voice of an angry man also seemed to chase him, but the owner of the voice was at the moment concealed by a turn in the lane, which was bordered by high stone-walls. Hydrophobia, of course, flashed into my mind. I grasped my stick and drew close to the wall.
And Anne's room has a 'southern exposure' Anne's crazy spot is southern exposures. Mine's it. Dear, dear, John, how could you forget it! That everything else closets and stone-walls and exposures should be to my mind but that! Well, I am thinking of moving out, before I move in. But I haven't told Anne. Anne is the kind of person not to tell, until the last moment. It saves one's nerves heigh-ho!
