Oh, do not think it necessary to behold Nature in her great stretches of sublimity in order to appreciate her. You will come to know her far more easily, and much more helpfully, in a little woodside walk, or right here underneath these branches, than you will in Niagara Falls, or in looking at her in the great ocean. She comes down more to the level of your understanding here in this meadow.
Ishmael had just got through with "Theology," and was about to begin to arrange the next set of books in rotation, when he bethought himself to look at the timepiece, and seeing that it was after twelve, he hurried back to Woodside to keep his appointment with Reuben.
Most of them, you will find on examination, belonged to confirmed hedgerow or woodside plants: they grow among bushes or low scrub, and thickets of gorse or bramble.
It all seemed to me horribly unfresh. Both ladies provide much simple amusement to the townsfolk with their clothes and their antics." "I know the Speirs type," said Pamela. "Foolish virgins." "Next to Woodside is Craigton," went on Jean, "and there live three spinsters the very best brand of spinsters the Duncans, Miss Mary, Miss Janet, and Miss Phemie.
"I'll tell you what. Come with me to Woodside Meadows on Saturday afternoon. Your father won't mind?" "Oh, no; father likes you." "I'm glad, because I'm very fond of him." "Yes, he's a dear; and he's got far more in him than perhaps you think, under his country ways. If you could see him in the country, it would make you cry. He loves it so."
Still more the brake on the woodside, whether in late autumn, when its withered haulm helps out the well-remembered woodland scent, or in spring, when it is thrusting its volutes through last year's waste. But all this is nothing to a garden, and is not to be got out of it; and if you try it you will take away from it all possible romance, the romance of a garden.
People very grand and grown-up came to the woodside where she flowered so gaily, and caught her by the golden hair of her head and pulled her up by her dear little roots, and carried her quite away from Hands-pansy to a place she had never been in before.
Then a faint melancholy shout at a distance, answered by a 'Stole away! from the fields; a doleful 'toot! of the horn; the dull thunder of many horsehoofs rolling along the farther woodside.
Almost at the same moment Hannah entered from the kitchen and Reuben from the garden. "Good-morning, Ishmael!" said Reuben gayly. "How do you like Woodside? Woodside is the name of our little home, same as Tanglewood is the name of the judge's house, a half a mile back in the forest, you know. How do you like it by daylight?" "Oh, very much, indeed, uncle. Don't you like it, Aunt Hannah?
She was as proud as Lucifer; yet she went through life the part that I knew of bearing the pity of the great majority of the people who knew her. She lived at an old place called "Woodside", which had been in the family for a great many years; indeed, ever since before the Revolution. The neighborhood dated back to the time of the colony, and Woodside was one of the old places.
