book lady and the tramp online electronics When Mīka´pi had come to the Great Place of Falling Water,* it began to rain hard, and, looking about for a place to sleep, he saw a hole in the rocks and crept in and lay down at the farther end. The rain did not stop, and when it grew dark he could not travel because of the darkness and the storm, so he lay down to sleep again; but before he had fallen asleep he heard something at the mouth of the cave, and then something creeping toward him. Then soon something touched his breast, and he put out his hand and felt a person. Then he sat up.,"Yes; every one admires it. It is very old. You know one part of the Towers is older than all the rest.",Presently he went on down to the log-jam, and as he got near the place he saw the old man at work there, bending over, skinning a buffalo; for Kŭt-o-yĭs´, when he had seen the son-in-law coming, had lain down on the ground and hidden himself behind the carcass.,"I am a stranger; I know nothing," she says again, hardly knowing what to say, and moving a little as though she would depart.,"A great distance," said the man.，Nolly regards her mournfully.，"I never saw the easy-chair I could compare with this," he says, as though to himself, his voice full of truth.，"Heaven," repeats he, with a sigh. "I have forgotten to think of heaven.""I shall,—when death claims me," replies he.

Her confusion, however, and the fact that no one else is near, betrays the secret she fain would hide.,She tucks up her dignified train in a most undignified haste, while Geoffrey covers up all the finery with the crimson shawl. The white cloud is once more thrown over the dainty cap; all the pretty coloring vanishes out of sight; and Mona, after one last lingering glance at Geoffrey, follows its example. She, too, flies across the rural bridge into the covert of her own small domain.,Then she accompanies him to the door, but gravely, and not with her accustomed gayety. Standing on the door-step he looks at her, and, as though impelled to ask the question because of her extreme stillness, he says, "Of what are you thinking?",And love but her forever;,"'Alas for the rarity,"Do you recollect all you said, or one-half of it? You said it would be well if I hated you.","If she presses refreshments on you, Mona, say, 'No, thank you,' without hesitation," says Geoffrey, with anxious haste, seeing they are drawing near their journey's end. "Because if you don't she will compel you to partake of metheglin and unleavened bread, which means sudden death. Forewarned is forearmed. Nolly and I have done what we can for you.","It is very hard on Sir Nicholas," says Mona, who would not call him "Nick" now for the world.,"And see what we gained by our haste," says Dorothy, smiling at Mona. "You can't think what a charming sight it was. Like an old legend or a fairy-tale. Was it a minuet you were dancing?","Perhaps you would rather rest for a while. Do you know this is the first time I have ever been inside the Towers?" He says this as one might who is desirous of making conversation, yet there is a covert meaning in his tone. Mona is silent. To her it seems a base thing that he should have accepted the invitation at all.,Mona has no time to hear more; pale, but collected, she walks deliberately into the room and up to Lady Rodney.,"What!" says Mona And then she grows quite pale, and, slipping off the stile, stands a few yards away from him..
