In the course of forming the embankment, the pressure of the bog turf tipped out of the waggons caused a copious stream of bog-water to flow from the end of it, in colour resembling Barclay’s double stout; and when completed, the bank looked like a long ridge of tightly pressed tobacco-leaf.
The child small, innocent cause of it stood round-eyed, wondering. "She has been naughty. What has she done, to be so naughty?" Over the maples the town clock slowly told the hour. They were free. The Collector tossed away the half-smoked tobacco-leaf his twelfth drew a long breath, and emitted it with a gay laugh of relief. At the same moment he saw Mr.
After some minutes she gathered courage to turn her eyes again. Captain Vyell sat with his legs in durance. They were very shapely legs, cased in stockings of flesh-coloured silk with crimson knee-ties. He sat in perfect patience, and rolled a tobacco-leaf between his fingers.
He did not ask her pardon, but opened his Calderon, signed to Manasseh to roll a fresh tobacco-leaf, and fell to reading his favourite Alcalde de Zalamea. The sun crept slowly to the right over the tops of the maples.
But for some days, O my love, let these only woods be enough for us!" Their dessert of fruit eaten, she arose and turned to the business of washing-up. He would have helped; but she mocked him, having hidden his shoes. "You are to rest quiet, and obey!" Before setting to work she brought him coffee and a roll of tobacco-leaf, and held a burning stick for him while he lit and inhaled.

She quivered in every limb, and longed to shut her eyes and bar out the intolerable sight of him, leering and lying there.
"No, no I'll keep the water!" she answered, panting. "You need both hands clear! Come!" Thus they turned, and, with a shuddering glance behind, started back for the tower again. But the obeah, with a whining plaint, spat away his tobacco-leaf. They heard a shuffle of feet. And, looking round again, both saw that he had crossed the little brook.
Hearing this, they roared at me, with a superior laughter, and asked me, whether or not, I knew the tobacco-leaf from the chick-weed; and when I was forced to answer no, not having gone into the subject, but being content with anything brown, they clapped me on the back and swore they had never seen any one like me.
Winter appeared to be devoting his mind to circumventing the vagaries of a fragile tobacco-leaf. He was a man of powerful build, over forty, heavy but active, deep-chested, round-headed, with bulging blue eyes which radiated kindliness and strength of character.
