Anonyma, on her return to the inn, was very generous with "word-vignettes" dealing with Nature.

Then the hunter waded ashore, and with his great hunting-knife ripped up the boats lying on the bank. Quickly he was back at his place. "Now, off!"

At last Hawley was aroused to the imminence of the danger. Leaving the dinner table, he leaped on his horse and arrived in the camp at a gallop, breathless and bare-headed.
