All streets except the High Street will in consequence be out of bounds till further notice." He then gave the nod of dismissal. The school streamed downstairs, marvelling. The less astute of the picnickers, unmindful of the homely proverb about hallooing before leaving the wood, were openly exulting.
Cape 'Turn Again' is the furthest occidental point reached by the far-famed exploration of O Zargo. The profile suggests it to be the northern half of a dome once regular and complete, but cut in two, as a cake might be, by time and the elements. Facetious picnickers roll over the edge-rocks which may kill the unfortunates gathering grass dreadful trade! upon the dizzy ledges.
Never mind," she added, "we shall all have a chance to see how he looks at church to-morrow;" and with that the two girls went off together to help set the table for lunch. The picnickers did not row home till sunset, but Henry found no opportunity to resume the conversation with Madeline which had been broken off at such an interesting point.
Leslie turned longing eyes toward the winding creek and an alluring canoe that lolled idly at the bank down below the inn as she stood on the piazza after dinner waiting for her aunt; but Allison saw her glance, and shook his head. "Better not suggest it," he said. "There are a lot of picnickers down there carrying on high. She would not like it, I'm sure.
Darsie forgot her grimaces and set off at a trot to make up lost ground, and even as she ran a sound came from afar which quickened the trot into a run the scream of an engine! the engine of the approaching train which was to bear the picnickers back to town.

Presently Miss Erith reverted to the picnickers: "The young woman has a foreign face. Have you noticed?" "She's rather dark. Rather handsome, too. And she appears rather nice." "Women of that class always appear superior to men of the same class," observed Miss Erith. "I suppose really they are not superior to the male of the species." "I've always thought they were," he said.
As we drew out into the cold magnificence of Lake Superior, the receding woody shores were occasionally spotted with picnickers or campers, who rushed down the beach in various deshabille, waving towels, handkerchiefs, or garments. We were as friendly. The human race seemed a jolly bunch, and the world a fine, pleasant, open-air affair 'some world, in fact.

Someone she thought it was Joyce Fulsom snapped the joyous group at the moment of the departure. It had been a week later, that he had written the words "Lest we forget" with a look and smile which set the girl's pulses fluttering. But that was in June. Now it was September.
Tom Sparrell's warning was remembered by the latter, and the ingratitude of the picnickers to their rescuers commented upon; the actual calamity to the reservoir was more or less attributed to the imprudent and reckless contiguity of the revelers on that day, and there were not wanting those who referred the accident itself to the machinations of the scheming Ditch Director Piper!
