Too, he remembered how he and his companions used to go from the school-house to the bank of a shaded pool. He saw his clothes in disorderly array upon the grass of the bank. He felt the swash of the fragrant water upon his body. The leaves of the overhanging maple rustled with melody in the wind of youthful summer. He was overcome presently by a dragging weariness.
Having read this aloud to Matilda, Levi dropped the closely written sheet to the floor. "She's got the courage of her convictions," Matilda snapped. "And an old grudge," Markham returned. "Well, I will say this for her," Matilda added; "she's upset her kettle of fish and Lans', too." "So it seems! So it seems!" Levi was looking at a flaming maple tree outside and thinking of his dead sister.
"'All your life. 'I thought, said one, 'that maple sugar parties were very " "'Pop'lar? " laughed their father." "Haw, haw," said Ethelwyn, who had been thinking of the tree under which they played at home. "'I'll have to take you to the seashore to play on the " "Beech," said Beth in triumph.

The wood thinned into glades where the shadows of beech and maple were beginning to be long upon the grass; then, in the afternoon light, the coach entered open country, fields of ox-eyed daisies, and tall pine trees standing singly.
