The road was a yellow waterway; the brook tore above the limit of its deep banks into a widening saffron river among the green meadows, which showed in the ghastly light in crude and ugly colors.,They talked on until sleep overcame them.

With a sigh of relief he drew out a furry object about the size of a pocket-knife.,"Oh!" said the major, in a satirical tone. "You found it?

"Jest a fair sailin' breeze now."Julia could make no reply, but by pressing to her lips the hand which was held forth to her, she saw all the wretchedness of her situation; and her fearful uncertainty concerning Hippolitus and Ferdinand, formed no inferior part of her affliction.

The little room was rude and bare, but Billy loved it. He thought the massive beams like the ribs of a ship, and planned to hang between them all his ship pictures.

He came out, leaving the door unlocked as ordered, though shut, and stood beside Mr Lawrence to make his report.,"No, Uncle Jen, I can't.

"That's Jeffries, the modeling-room pet, and Miss Green. She'll exercise the black art in earnest. Did you ever see such paralyzing expressions as she can call up!

I know him by his red hair.",“Yes, we can,” said Johnny Blossom, bracing his feet more firmly against the bottom of the boat.,The public prosecutor thought that the interruption of his learned friend was out of place; as the refusal of Mrs. Dallas--"mother, gentlemen of the jury, to the young lady engaged to the deceased gentleman, Mr. Maurice Alymer"--had nothing to do with the actual facts of the case.
