"Incompetent people, I should think, from what you can see of the garden. Annoying to think that that used to be good wheat-land." "They've never liked the place. They were terrified of losing the child because of the damp from the moment it came. She's quite broken by it all, poor thing." Marion began to draw on the ground with the point of her stick.
"I suppose you have grasped the position, even if Sylvia hasn't explained it. She shows an excellent knowledge of details." There was a hint of dryness in his tone that escaped George's notice. "So far as I can make out," he answered, "Dick owned a section of a second-class wheat-land, with a mortgage on the last quarter, some way back from a railroad.
Half-way across the storied and fabled plain the rain stopped and the fog lifted, and then we saw by day, as we had already seen by night, how the Vega was plentifully dotted with white cottages amid breadths of wheat-land where the peasants were plowing.
Who hath both gold and silver in his hand, Horses and mules, and acres of wheat-land, And him whose all is decent food to eat, Clothes to his back and shoes upon his feet, And a young wife and child, since so 'twill be, And no more years than will with that agree; and in another place, Wealth I would have, but wealth by wrong procure I would not; justice, e'en if slow, is sure.
A railroad may be run through, wheat-land opened up, minerals found, and wooden cities spring up from the empty plain. Life's rapid and strenuous; one is swept along with the stream." "But you were in the wilds." Blake laughed. "We were, but not far behind us the tide of population pours across the plain, and if we had stayed a year or two in the timber, it would have caught us up.
Our board shacks with the big stoves in them are fairly warm; and no one can tell what developments may suddenly come about in such a country. A railroad may be run through, wheat-land opened up, minerals found, and wooden cities spring up from the empty plain. Life's rapid and strenuous; one is swept along with the stream." "But you were in the wilds!" Blake laughed.
That's what my father did. They all did it. Well, I'm going to take my father's money and construct. I'm going to take worked-out wheat-land that I can buy as at a fire-sale, rip out the plow-sole, and make it produce more in the end than it did when you fellows first farmed it." It was at the end of his Junior year that Mr. Crockett again mentioned Dick's threatened period of wildness.
They haven't time to be particular, with the great western wheat-land waiting for development." The girl moved away; and when word went around that there would be a delay of several hours, George sat down beside the lake and watched the Colonist passengers wash their children's clothes.
To the right up there is Warnitz; and in front of us, where the fallow ground begins, is Pümpelhagen; and down there to the left, behind the little clump of firs, is Gürlitz." "Then Warnitz is the largest!" "No, Charles, you've mistaken me there. Pümpelhagen is the best estate in the neighborhood, the wheat-land there produces forty-two loads, and that is eight more than Warnitz can show.
