That long column of worlds thou callest thy starry firmament, revolves like the myriads of grains of dust, visibly hovering in the sunbeam's revolving column, from the crevice in the wall into that dark space. But still more distant stands the milky way's whitish mist, a new starry heaven, each column but a radius in the wheel!
"Sir Corina thinks we're crazy to drink it." Sunbeam giggled. "If she thinks coffee's bad, she should try tea!" "I did!" Corina said emphatically, trying to imitate Sunbeam's gaiety. "The things you humans ingest and claim to enjoy, it is a wonder that you survive at all." "It's not that bad," Sunbeam said, still amazing Corina with her ability to eat and talk simultaneously and neatly.
Gringalet looks as if he was of my opinion, for he lolls his tongue out much more than usual." "Upon my word!" cried Sumichrast, "Master Sunbeam's remark shows that he is a first-class observer. You are as right as you can be," continued he, placing his hand on the boy's shoulder.
"He may try to cause you serious trouble. I ought to tell Ranger Medart." "I see no need to bother him with it," Corina said. "I appreciate your concern, but I believe you worry too much. Colonel Greggson knows my status here; he will not harm me." She didn't have to probe to feel Sunbeam's doubt, but all her escort said was, "You're probably right." Then Sunbeam glanced at her chrono.
Defects in the menage, carefully overlooked when dining out, are called with peculiar unction to the attention of the housekeeper of the home, whose worry to please is only matched by the "sunbeam's" fear that she shall think him satisfied with what is placed before him.
Sitting down on the bank, I held out the rod to my companion, who at once seized it, and, thus supported, gradually managed to bring up all our hunting-gear, and ultimately himself, when, instead of pulling "Master Sunbeam's" ears, he gave him a kiss as a reward for his ingenious idea. About two hundred paces farther on the verdant ravine came to an end, and we were surrounded by cactus-plants.
Since each upon the other so closely must depend, Let us seek the earth together, and our common blessings blend." The raindrops, and the sunbeams, came laughing down to earth, And it woke once more to beauty, and to myriad tones of mirth; The river and the streamlet went dancing on their way, And the raindrops brightly sparkled in the sunbeam's golden ray.
Day by day his excursions grew longer and higher. Nor were they without adventure. Sometimes he would be caught in the wake of a stickleback, and would reach the bottom spinning, or on his back. He was lucky to reach it at all. Sometimes a sunbeam's dazzling radiance would check him in mid-career, and his callow eyes would take an hour to recover. It was a month before his eyelids developed.
He came from a side path and joined us, and as soon as I could I left them; but they picked me up again by the inner gate, just as I was going in to lunch, after having had a beautiful ride. The Park is magnificent. At lunch I sat by the old Earl. He said my hair was a sunbeam's home, and that my nose was fit for a cameo; he is perfectly charming.
This reference to the sad event which had occurred that morning solemnised the fishermen assembled on the Sunbeam's deck, and they stood listening with sympathetic expressions as Fred narrated what he had seen of the catastrophe, and told that his uncle was evidently nothing the worse of it, and was lying asleep in the cabin, where everything had been done for his recovery and comfort.
