Some fern-cutters in shirt-sleeves and slouch hats were already at work, cutting with rhythmic precision, calling to one another, and whistling tunefully. One or two of them greeted her as she passed.
Innocent of London quackeries, I strolled forth with the full hope of laying me down on a velvet carpet of grass the birds carolling around me and, perchance, a flock of lambkins, tunefully baying to their mammas!! "Said I to myself," when I reached these fields, "what a fool I am!" I had contemplated a doze on the grass.
In the newspapers and magazines you shall see many poems written by women who meekly term themselves weak, and modestly profess to represent only the weak among their sex tunefully discussing the duties which the weak owe to their country in days like these.
Sometimes at the barber's a similar hypnotic feeling had come over him, some electric current stirred by the brushing of his hair, when common sounds and movements struck on his nerves like music. Again his nerves vibrated tunefully, and he became aware that she was speaking. "So sorry to have troubled you," she said, and prepared to go. He felt he must keep her at any cost.
She held out her hand "I hope you don't think me too awful. My name's Caroline Smith. How do you do?" They shook hands. Maggie, still bewildered by sleep, said, stammering, "Won't you sit down?

"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me down to lie In pleasant fields where the lilies grow, And the river runneth by." Maryllia listened, watching them. The declining sunlight, pale as it was, shed luminance upon the awkward stumpy boys, and bashfully shrinking girls, as with round, affectionate eyes fixed upon her, they went on tunefully
Beneath Parnassos' lordly height they won four victories in the games; moreover in the valleys of noble Pelops they have obtained eight crowns at the hands of the men of Corinth, and seven at Nemea; and at home more than may be numbered, at the games of Zeus: To whose glory, O citizens, sing for Timodemos a song of triumph, and bring him in honour home, and chant our prelude tunefully.
He had a cold bath in the private bathroom, which was one of Nevill's modern improvements in the old house, and by and by went for a walk, thinking to have the gardens to himself. But Nevill was there, cutting flowers and whistling tunefully. It was to him that the jewelled white peacock had screamed a greeting. "I like cutting the flowers myself," said he.
