Then there is silence for a full minute, during which Miss Mansergh casts a reproachful glance at the irrepressible Jack. Each bank and root of mossy tree is studded with pale primroses that gleam like stars when the morning rises to dim their lustre. My lady's straw-bed spreads its white carpet here and there; the faint twitter of birds is in the air, with "liquid lapse of murmuring streams;" every leaf seems bursting into life, the air is keen but soft, the clouds rest lightly on a ground of spotless blue; the world is awake, and mad with youthful glee as As they travelled along looking for roots, they passed near a cave, and at its mouth stood a buffalo cow.

And Geoffrey, who is blind to nothing that concerns her notices all this, and secretly determines on taking her away from all this foolish persecution, to London or elsewhere, until such time as their own home shall be ready to receive them. "Don't ask me to flatter you. You will get plenty to do that by and by," says Geoffrey, rather jealously, rather bitterly. When they had taken the skins from these animals, they set up poles and put the hides over them, and so made a shelter to sleep under. "Now, then, cheer up, Paddy!" he says to the boy: "yonder lies an oasis in our howling wilderness.".
