The banks of the rivers are invisible; darkness covers them, and the lapping waves of a spring flood seem to have washed them into space. The river below has spread into a sea; while the heavens above, swatched in cloud masses, hang heavy, humid, and leaden.* There is no atmosphere, no color in this gray blurred picture.
Every few moments the little girl would peep out from behind the cottage, and once she almost came up to the group under the trees; but her mother, when she spied her, sent her hastily back, saying by way of an apology: "She's all swatched, but she's only my reckling, you must know."
"I don't know when I've heard that word 'reckling. It simply means her youngest child, who she said was all 'swatched. That signifies being untidy, but I am sure I couldn't see the tiniest spot of dirt anywhere upon the child." Betty was rather glad when they at last jumped off their bicycles at the hotel in Leamington. "I guess I'm not used to quite such long rides as you," she said.
