Late that afternoon Helma and Ivra and Eric gathered ferns and flowers to deck themselves for the evening.
Two saplings of at least ten feet in length were cut from the chapparal, and trimmed clear of twigs.

The next day the curate called again on Leopold.
Scaresby was, however, too busy in recounting his news to others to perceive the signals the old Princess held out; and it was only as her chasseur, six feet three of green and gold, bent down to give her Highness's message, that the Major hurried off, in all the importance of a momentary scandal, to the side of her carriage.

The Chamber of Deputies, in the early part of this year, eighteen forty one, discussed this project, and the law was passed almost unanimously.
Our road constantly ascended, and at length we came to a crossing.
And when he was clean armed he took Sir Launcelot's horse, for he was better than his; and so departed they from the cross.
"Moody Spurgeon MacPherson called here tonight after you left," said Aunt Jamesina, who had sat up to keep the fire on.
Fortunate for Zeb, that the mustanger's knife had been left upon land. As it was, he came near being throttled; and only after throwing aside his rifle, and employing all his strength, was he able to protect himself against the unlooked for assault.
He was alone, lying beneath a silver birch, his head among the star flowers.

Still, the revulsion, from habits of deference and respect, to disparagement, and even sarcasm, is a sorry evidence of human kindness; and the threshold, over which for years we had only passed as guests, might well suggest sadder thoughts as we tread it to behold desolation.

Tabby moves about in her quaint country dress, frugal, peremptory, prone to find fault pretty sharply, yet allowing no one else to blame her children, we may feel sure.

It looked like an interesting diversion to talk with the old woman.
I omit, for the sake of brevity, the numerous considerations which the professor adduces in support of what he calls, too modestly in my opinion, his Utopia.
