She was looking for a place where they might lunch, for Ashurst never looked for anything; and this, between the golden furze and the feathery green larches smelling of lemons in the last sun of April--this, with a view into the deep valley and up to the long moor heights, seemed fitting to the decisive nature of one who sketched in water-colours, and loved romantic spots. ื‘ืืžื•ื ื”, ื•ื ื•ืก ื”ื™ื ื”ืคื˜ืจื•ื ื™ืช ืฉืœ ื”ืื™ื›ืจื™ื, ื”ื’ื ื ื™ื ื•ื”ื—ืงืœืื™ื. He thought of Theocritus, and the river Cherwell, of the moon, and the maiden with the dewy eyes; of so many things that he seemed to think of nothing; and he felt absurdly happy. He had done it now! Then, seeing Ashurst looking at him, he crossed the yard at that gait of the young countryman always ashamed not to be slow and heavy-dwelling on each leg, and disappeared round the end of the house towards the kitchen entrance. Basically, it is an exposition of the story, where we find out two friends, Frank and Robert, who were on a tramp, met one girl, and asked her to admit them to stay for the night at hers.

Such were Ashurst's memories, sitting against the wall among the gorse, on his silver-wedding day. By four o'clock they had shown him all their methods of destroying life, except the tickling of trout; and with breeches tucked up, lay on their stomachs over the trout stream, pretending they had this accomplishment also. How did it alter anything--this sight of her? Everyone should read it so you can talk to me about it! Perhaps Megan was at her window, looking out at the blossom, thinking of him! Megan under the old apple tree waiting and looking! At that adoring look he felt his nerves quiver, just as if he had seen a moth scorching its wings. In this short author shows us a great skill of describing characters, we can not only see, but also feel the characters, to understand them. I wish it had more details and of course more pages.

The ground there was covered with a mist of bluebells, and nearly a score of crab-apple trees were in full bloom. And torn between these two emotions he clasped her close, and kissed her hair. Then a sort of spasm seemed to convulse his face. To have been able to reach it--even with his hand! Instead of the hankering of the last two days, he felt nothing but a blank--all passionate longing gone, as if quenched in that outburst of tears. Why had he made friends with this family of innocents just when he was saying good-bye to innocence, and all the rest of it? The basic theme of the extract is nature and its closeness to the man. I wish it had more details and of course more pages.

Time goes fast for one who has a sense of beauty, when there are pretty children in a pool and a young Diana on the edge, to receive with wonder anything you can catch! All was dark in the house. The farm buildings and the wheel-house were all dim and bluish, the apple trees but a blurred wilderness; the air smelled of woodsmoke from the kitchen fire. But it probably isn't anything more. In the fourth paragraph, Frank was impressed by the girl and her beauty, and the nature helped us to recognize what kind of person is Ashurst. It was certainly different from any spring he had ever known, for spring was within him, not without.

He was appointed to the Order of Merit in 1929, after earlier turning down a knighthood, and awarded the Nobel Prize in 1932 though he was too ill to attend. They had walked that day from Brent, intending to make Chagford, but Ashurst's football knee had given out, and according to their map they had still some seven miles to go. He unlatched the farm gate stealthily. The story afforded great pleasure to me, I enjoyed every minute of it. To find her again he knew he had only to go to the station and wait till she returned from her fruitless quest, to take her train home; or to take train himself and go back to the farm, so that she found him there when she returned. Both of these women were pretty and purely young. I liked 'e very well, an' I never see nothin' between 'em, but to my thinkin' 'e turned the maid's fancy.

When he turned he could see Halliday swimming along shore, and the girls flopping and dipping, and riding the little waves, in the way he was accustomed to despise, but now thought pretty and sensible, since it gave him the distinction of the only deep-water fish. In that case, if he would wire to his bank in London, they would be happy to oblige him on receipt of the reply. Whatever he did, he felt he would be a beast. Since meeting Stella, Ashurt, who was planning a scheme of running away with Megan, always feared that the Hallidays and Stella particularly discovered his plan. The cuckoos by day, and now the owls--how wonderfully they voiced this troubled ecstasy within him! Now that he felt the die really cast, and Megan given up, he hated himself, and almost hated the Hallidays and their atmosphere of healthy, happy English homes. He got up from the old trunk and strode out of the orchard, wanting space, an open sky, to get on terms with these new sensations.

But I think that turned 'em--made et luke to much 's ef she'd 'ad it in 'er mind deliberate; an' so they burried 'er up 'ere. Fortunately, not all the girls end up as the Migan. The thought dogged him, wandering through fields bright with buttercups, where the little red calves were feeding, and the swallows flying high. They'm a wonderful people, yu know, for claimin' their own. Ashurst pressed his face against a spray; and before his closed eyes Megan started up, with the tiny brown spaniel pup against her breast. That shoulder seemed quite the pleasantest thing he had ever touched.
