But I did neither, for the simple reason that once within the 'foamy flood' aforesaid, there would have been very little chance of my ever getting out again, for let me confess the fact with the blush of shame I am no swimmer. Yet I was not idle, far otherwise. Having judged the distance between the drifting boat and the bank, I began running along, seeking the thing I wanted.
"Her dress," answered Wauna, "is intended to be emblematical of Nature. The sea-green robe, the water lilies of pearls, the foamy lace are all from Nature's Cradle of Life." "How poetical!" I exclaimed. But then Mizora is full of that charming skill that blends into perfect harmony the beautiful and useful in life.
It will last but a few days, I am sure; and the change will interest you at any rate, poor thing!" Then going to the window, she looked down into the yard, and said, "Mrs. Dillon, come up to Miss Annie's room, will you?" In a minute the woman made her appearance at the door, with the suds still lingering in foamy flakes upon her arms and along the folds of her apron.
After a time it will become cloudy and turbid; little bubbles will be seen rising to the surface, and their abundance will increase until the liquid hisses as if it were simmering on the fire. By degrees, some of the solid particles which produce the turbidity of the liquid collect at its surface into a scum, which is blown up by the emerging air-bubbles into a thick, foamy froth.
