But he wasn't going to stop at the school, surely, when you went to the herding?" "Oh yes; he is far better at the school." "Ay, he's better at the school than playing. But wherefore should not he go to the weeding or the herding as well as you?" "Archie! Why, he's but a child! What could he do?" "And what are you but a child?" asked Nancy, smiling.
That has been helped rather than injured by the storm, and, if we will take care of it, will give us plenty of food for winter. Work there will revive my spirits." The ground was too wet for the use of the hoe, but there was plenty of weeding to be done, while I answered the questions of neighbors who came to offer their sympathy.
"All children have bad seeds in their hearts, and it is our duty by constant and careful weeding to root them out, and to impress also on the child from its earliest days the necessity of endeavouring to do so likewise. The child is not excused as it gains strength and knowledge if it does not perform its own part in the work," observed Mrs Leslie.
Numerous edicts prohibited hoeing and weeding, lest young partridges should be destroyed. The people were bound to repair the roads without compensation, to grind their corn at the landlord's mill, bake their bread in his ovens, and carry their grapes to his wine-press. They had not the benefit of schools, or of institutions which would enable them to improve their minds.
Sam went back to his work, of weeding the vegetable garden and Bert watered the flowers. Pretty soon Freddie came back. "Did did Danny do anything to you?" the little fellow wanted to know. "No, Freddie, but the hose did something to him," said Bert. "Oh, did it wet him again?" "That's what it did." "Ha! Ha!" laughed Freddie. "I wish I'd been here to see it, Bert." "Well, why did you run?"
In some parts, in spite of all the weeding that is done, ferns and bluebells and other such useless plants are growing still. And through it all underneath the wind-wheels runs a straight lane paved with stones, a roadway of the Romans two thousand years old. Go to the right of that, down into the valley and follow it along by the banks of the river.
"Maybe a hoe, Miss Daisy; or whiles a weeding fork." "Have you got one here." "No, Miss Daisy. Was it a fork you were wanting?" "Yes, I want one, Logan." "And will you be wanting it now?" "Yes, I want it now, if you please." "Bill, you go home and get Miss Daisy one o' them small hand forks out o' that new lot them's slenderer." "And Logan, I want another thing.
"Yes, deadly poisons, too," agreeing with a sort of exultation, so blithely, indeed, that the calmly moving fingers of the mistress of Heartholm were suddenly arrested. A feeling as powerful and associative as the scent of a strong perfume stole over Evelyn Strang. Before she could speak Berber had resumed his weeding.
In the case of the latter, how sad to think that they should be dragged out into worthlessness or dishonour, all for want of a friendly hand to snap them short! In the lower form of life the process of preying upon animals whose work is accomplished that is, of weeding goes on continually. Man must, of course, be more cautious.
And that brings me to what I was going to say. I'm desperately hard up for money, and so I've been collecting my poems weeding them well, you know going over them quite critically, in fact; and I want to know if you think Deighton would publish them. You've a name in Cambridge, you know; and I daresay he would look at them if you offered them to him.
