Josephine turned to Aaron Sisson, who sat with a glass of whiskey in his hand, rather slack in his chair, in his thickish overcoat. He did not want to drink.
The humming overhead never ceased, but seemed to me to grow louder as we increased our distance from the fire. It was shivery work! We were grubbing away in the middle of a thickish clump of willows where some driftwood from a former flood had caught high among the branches, when my body was seized in a grip that made me half drop upon the sand.

It has a slender stem and thickish leaves, heart-shaped at the base; its rays number from ten to fifteen and are usually bright blue, sometimes violet blue. September brings us the first and one of the most beautiful of the gentians, the white gentian.
