We had proceeded perhaps a mile, when we came to a small stream or run, where we stopped to water the horses. We were passing through a swampy piece of woods, called cedar swamp, and just up the road, perhaps six hundred yards from the stream, was a small wood-colored meeting house.
Whitwell pulled his axe out of the carf, and struck it in again with a force that made a wide, square chip leap out. He looked over his shoulder at Westover, who was moving away. "Say, stop in some time you're passin'. I live in that wood-colored house at the foot of the Durgins' lane."
Violette, mounted on one of those little nags which the farmers in the neighborhood of Paris use so much, soon appeared, wearing a round hat with a broad brim, beneath which his wood-colored face, deeply wrinkled, appeared in shadow.

Jeff laughed, and said to the off horse, which seemed to know that he was meant: "Get up, there!" "And Cynthia? Is Cynthia at home?" Westover asked. "Yes; they're all down in the little wood-colored house yet. Cynthia teaches winters, and summers she helps mother. She has charge of the dining-room." "Does Franky cry as much as ever?" "No, Frank's a fine boy. He's in the house, too.
The Chesapeake bay upon the jutting banks of which the little wood-colored house was standing white with foam, raised by the heavy north-west wind; Poplar Island, covered with a thick, black pine forest, standing out amid this half ocean; and Kent Point, stretching its sandy, desert-like shores out into the foam-cested bay were all in sight, and deepened the wild and desolate aspect of my new home.
Chaffin was waiting for us at the gate when we alighted in front of the old wood-colored cottage that haven of weary legs in days gone by. Mrs. Chaffin was quite beside herself with joy. "Dear-a me!" said the good lady, after the salutations were over. "Dear-a sakes! How you've growed! I didn't think you'd ever live to get s' big.
