"She was waiting for orders, sir." "Send her up immediately." "Certainly, sir." Miss Warburton was the fourth angel an angel with another spick-and-span blouse, and the light of devotion in her eyes and the sound of it in her purling voice. "Good morning," the gruff brute started. "Did I hear the telephone-bell just now?" "Yes, sir. Doy and Doy have telephoned to say that Mr.
It was on this purling little prairie brook that McDaniel's band lay in wait for the arrival of the ill-fated Don Antonio, whose imposing equipage came along, intending to encamp on the bank, one of the usual stopping-places on the route. The Don was taken a few miles south of the Trail, and his baggage rifled.
For about seventeen years, in fact, during which time Lord and Lady Calverly had completely ignored the existence of their near neighbour, Mrs. Purling. Compton Revel might have been a paradise, and the heiress an exiled peri waiting at the gates. The party assembled was after Mrs. Purling's own heart.
"Why, I took Tom LeMasters away from her," she giggled, and leaned over with her wrinkled and scented face close to his, grasping him by the arm. After that they were bosom friends.

As the waters recede during October, after the rains have ended, each runlet and purling stream becomes a scene of slaughter on a most reckless and improvident scale. The innumerable shoals of spawn and small fish that have been feeding in the rice fields, warned by some instinct seek the lakes and main streams.
We pitched our encampment upon a small piece of rising ground, where there was a fine little pool of water in the creek bed, partly formed of rocks, over which the purling streamlet fell, forming a most agreeable little basin for a bath. The day was comparatively cool, 100 degrees.
In countries whose features are of less magnitude, nature betrays her living powers in the foliage of the trees, in the growth of herbage, in the soft purling of meandering streams; here, endowed with giant attributes, the torrent, the thunder-storm, and the flow of massive waters, display her activity.
