The air which came across the cliff was cool, and if we had dared to hope we
should have said it had a scent of the sea in it.At four oclock in the morning
there was a noise of something beating against the panes-- they were streaming!
It was impossible to lie still, and I rose and went out of doors. No creature
was stirring, there was no sound save that of the rain, but a busier time there
had not been for many a long month. Thousands of millions of blades of grass
and corn were eagerly drinking. For sixteen hours the downpour continued, and
when it was dusk I again went out. The watercourses by the side of the roads
had a little water in them, but not a drop had reached those at the edge of the
fields, so thirsty was the earth. The drought, thank God, was at an end! Now
that twenty years have passed since I began the study of Spinoza it is good to
find that he still holds his ground.
Bert good-naturedly started ahead to speak to the principal, who was talking
with some of the teachers, planning games for the little folk.Flossie and
Freddie were patting their pet, when Danny Rugg, and one of his friends came
along. He will not, Danny Rugg! exclaimed Nan, who had gone up front for a
minute to speak to some of the older girls. He only growled because you acted
mean to him. Now you leave him alone, or Ill tell Mr. Tetlow on you. I wont,
said Nan, looking about anxiously for Bert. She saw him coming back, and felt
better. By this time Danny had found a club, and was coming back to where
Flossie, Freddie and Nan, with some of their friends, were walking along, Snap
in their midst. Oh, dont be so smart! exclaimed Bert, stepping out from behind
a group of girls. Ive told Mr. Tetlow myself that Snap is following us, and he
said to let him come along. So you neednt take the trouble, Danny Rugg. And if
you try to hit our dog Ill have something more to say, and Be rt stepped boldly
forth.
Nor was the honk of the motor-horn heard even during the most tumultuous
Sundays.The spot was harder to reach than most others along the twenty miles of
nicked and ragged brim which helped enclose the wide blue area of the Big
Water, but was better worth while when you got there. Her little tract lay
beyond the more prosaic reaches that were furnished chiefly in the light green
of deciduous trees; it was part of a long stretch thickly set for miles with
the dark and sombre green of pines. Our nature-lover had taken, the year
before, a neglected and dilapidated old farmhouse and had made it into what her
friends and habitues liked to call a bungalow.
