"We too asked to Hegner's have been. As you are going, we your example will follow," shouted the barber. Rose Otway sat in the garden of the Trellis House, under the wide-branched cedar of Lebanon which was, to the thinking of most people in the Close, that garden's only beauty.
It fell about, therefore, that I was some forty paces in advance of her when I suddenly came upon the Indian settlement and saw there a sight that made my heart stand still. I drew back hastily behind the trunk of a wide-branched oak, whence I could look unseen, I thought upon the town.
I am acquainted with his family one of the best in the South." He led the way to a small tent beneath the shade of a wide-branched oak. A stretcher had been extemporized into a camp bed and on it lay a youth not older apparently than the girl herself. His face had the blood-drained look which many will remember, yet was still fine in its strong, boyish lines.
