Why is it, when in June the luxuriant young bracken first drops its fully-developed fronds, so that frond touches frond, many overlapping, forming a billowy expanse of vivid green, hiding, or all but hiding, the brown or red soil beneath--why is it the eyes rest with singular satisfaction on it? It is not only because ...

"It isn't cowardice at all," she declared. "And paying her is a very sensible thing to do. Goodness knows she needs every cent. It seems to me you have chosen remarkably well, Carey. . . .

IN order to follow the life of the natives it is advisable to commence from their birth. It is wonderful how hardy the native women as a rule are. During the hottest part of the day they can be found pounding at grass seeds out in the open without covering of any kind, and as cooking is required in the preparation of t...

Olin twisted his lips in that skull-like smile, turning to the silent youth. "Hull," he said kindly, "you must have been born under fortunate stars.

I asked the man in the northern town all sorts of questions about the extraordinary explosion of which he had spoken to me. But he had very little more to say.

If I were a man, I told myself, I'd certainly be attracted to Janice--not me. I wonder she hasn't married long ago. She's had plenty of chances to. . . .

It was true enough that the home-coming had been a shock to Joan; why, it is impossible to say. She had known so many similar incidents; servants had left abruptly before, especially of late years, so that familiarity should have softened the effect produced by her arrival at Leaside.

His beard, and, as presently appeared, his hair, were iron-gray, not long but affluent and carefully groomed. Hands, face, forehead were netted with tiny wrinkles that seemed to have been smoothed out rather than caused by time; the impression was that he was growing young again, after having faced the worst the world ...

I was too weary and cold to exert myself for my role in the comedy below stairs, so I slipped into Zarl's beautiful room where the big fire was so comforting.

Paul's patriotism was largely an affectation. At this time he had a great longing to be like his fellows, and his fellows made it very obvious that they were patriotic.

FOR the next few days I dwelt in some little fear of arrest, imprisonment, deportation, even Siberia. But I need not have disturbed myself.

"Shaston is what you call a flat-catcher. He looks innocent, and sometimes foolish, but he is very, very acute. He reported that you had not lost touch with common life.

Then George followed, pale, dark of eye, gallant of speech, the unaccepted lover who had come through the fires of relinquishment. But Logan did not come.

She begged him passionately to yield, and take advantage of the opportunity of escape that was offered him; but he remained firm.

Punctually at half-past seven the carriage arrived to take Wrayson to the château.

He led me down a winding staircase into a narrow passage, deep underground, and so low that I had to stoop in places.

The trouser pockets yielded nothing except a candle end, a jackknife, a plug of tobacco and a bit of twine.

Of course it had to occur on a Thursday afternoon. The season was summer, suitable for pale and fragile toilettes.

It is no sandy plain, nor any circumscribed and scant oasis I seem to realise.

The business of Messrs. Gallio & Stein is conducted in a small and rather dark shop in Old Bond Street, and Grant found but one assistant visible.

When at last the man stopped and Dick was dropped to the ground, they had travelled about a mile and a half into the bush.

With my glass I watched Boschen fight the swordfish, and I concluded from the way he pulled that he was fast to the bottom of the ocean.

IN order to follow the life of the natives it is advisable to commence from their birth. It is wonderful how hardy the native women as a rule are.

Olin twisted his lips in that skull-like smile, turning to the silent youth. "Hull," he said kindly, "you must have been born under fortunate stars.

I asked the man in the northern town all sorts of questions about the extraordinary explosion of which he had spoken to me. But he had very little more to say.

It was true enough that the home-coming had been a shock to Joan; why, it is impossible to say.

His beard, and, as presently appeared, his hair, were iron-gray, not long but affluent and carefully groomed.

Paul's patriotism was largely an affectation. At this time he had a great longing to be like his fellows, and his fellows made it very obvious that they were patriotic.

He lingered over his tea as if he were purposely consuming time, and when at last he rose from the table, he informed Mrs. Gadby that he had some important work to do and was under no circumstances to be disturbed.

Of the five Siren rocks only three lie close together, and these are the so-called Galli. The old name Sirenusae gradually died out; no earlier reference to them under their present one occurs, I believe, than that contained in the chronicle of the Abbot of Telese (1133), who records their capture by Roger of Sicily.

Outwardly the blacksmith shop of the Brothers Lafitte resembled--a blacksmith shop.

This second traveller, not being a prisoner or castaway, and so having more leisure for detail than Captain Uring (who was concerned to instruct rather than to conjecture), goes into a kind of rhapsody about the abandoned island.

As you press him, you will find this kindliness evaporating from his resistance altogether. He is now concerned about the general beauty and loveliness of the world.

Here he debated with himself whether to proceed further or turn back; but at length, curiosity got the best of his fears, and he went on.

This sunset hour found her tired after the long day's drive. With change of action, followed by food and drink she needed, there came a rally of spirits.

Leithen's plan, like all great strategy, was simple. Everything depended on having Jimsie out of sight of the Lang Whang for half an hour. Given that, he believed he might kill a salmon.

This sentiment of ineffable wretchedness I experienced, when I stooped down over the body of the imaginary Louisa, and when I hastened to obtain the certainty which was of all things most terrible to me.
