Widow Blunt's father had planted it, and it was the very earliest cherry tree in all the neighborhood. When Robert Robin came in sight of it he saw the bright red fruit shining among the green leaves. The early cherries were ripe, and Robert Robin was the first to find them. In a few moments Robert Robin stood beside his own nest with a bright red cherry in his mouth.
"I believe he is," answered the doctor. "Hold on a moment there!" he called. "Were you out with Mr. Blunt's command?" "Yes, sir. All yesterday and last night. I had to sit up with the lieutenant all night, sir, to bathe his wound." "True, true. And of course you hadn't a wink of sleep. Go to your barracks and get a nap. I'm going back to Mr.
After tea, she gave us some music in the parlor. I confess that I was more taken with the picture of the dusky little room, lighted by the single candle on the piano, and by the effect of Miss Blunt's performance, than with its meaning.

His lordship began to unburden his soul of certain facts relating to the family. "Have you ever met my Uncle Thomas?" he inquired. "You know Blunt's Stores? Well, he's Blunt.

"Well, not the way Ben Blunt's stepmother did, but she wanted to know what I meant by it and all like that. Of course she's cruel. Don't you know that all stepmothers are cruel? Did you ever read a story about one that wasn't vile and cruel and often tried to leave the helpless children in the woods to be devoured by wolves? I should say not!" "Where did you hide that Wadley baby?"
Their third election fell upon John Blunt, a theologian high in the favour of Peter des Roches, who sent him to Rome, well provided with ready money, to secure his confirmation. Simon Langton, again restored to England, and archdeacon of Canterbury, persuaded the pope to veto Blunt's appointment on the ground of his having held two benefices without a dispensation.
