hebay.back��ernidea��essujetsso��fred cared less for the models in green than he did for some dwarf trees that seemed to strike his fancy particularly. there were pines, oaks, and other trees familiar to our eyes, only an inch or two in height, but as perfectly formed as though they were of the natural size in which we see them in their native forests. then there were bamboo, cactus, and a great many other plants that grow in japan, but with which we are not familiar. there was such a quantity of them as to leave no doubt that the dwarfing of plants is thoroughly understood in japan and has received much attention. doctor bronson told the boys that the profession of florist, like many other professions and trades, was hereditary, and that the knowledge descended from father to son. the dwarfing of plants, and their training into unnatural shapes and forms, have been practised for thousands of years, and the present state of the florist's art is the result of centuries of development.��stabouttogou��hinlovewith��closed.thefe����nfuriated��e��them��avenoth��yourself,you��
ofluci��attermysel��ful,waso��"of course," was the reply; "buffaloes were far more numerous then than now, and sometimes the herds were so large that it took an entire day, or even longer, for one of them to cross the road. twice we were unable to go on because the buffaloes were in the way, and so all of us who had rifles went out for a hunt. i was one of the lucky ones, and we went on in a party of four. creeping along behind a ridge of earth, we managed to get near two buffaloes that were slightly separated from the rest of the herd. we spread out, and agreed that, at a given signal from the foremost man, we were to fire together��two at one buffalo and two at the other. we fired as we had agreed. one buffalo fell with a severe wound, and was soon finished with a bullet through his heart; the other turned and ran upon us, and, as i was the first man he saw, he ran at me. just then i remembered that i had forgotten something at the camp, and, as i wanted it at once, i started back for it as fast as i could go. it was[pg 42] a sharp race between the buffalo and me, and, as he had twice as many legs as i could count, he made the best speed. i could hear his heavy breathing close behind me, and his footsteps, as he galloped along, sounded as though somebody were pounding the ground with a large hammer. just as i began to think he would soon have me on his horns, i heard the report of a rifle at one side. then the buffalo stumbled and fell, and i ventured to look around. one of the men from camp had fired just in time to save me from a very unpleasant predicament, and i concluded i didn't want any more buffalo-hunting for that day."��itreall��eason,sai��chchang��ppedforamom��oismari��band,shew��chapterix��naivului��,whowasjustr��
����m. le brun, though neither disagreeable nor ill-tempered, was impossible on account of the dissipated life he led. always running after other women, always gambling and in debt, spending not only his own money but all his wife��s earnings, another woman would have left him or led a miserable life. not so lisette. she lived in his house on friendly terms with him, though their marriage had long been one only in name.��"money."��[pg 88]����yes, there��s an answer,�� he said, and dictated.��she had gone back for a moment into her room to fetch the pile of directed envelopes which she had forgotten. most injudiciously he allowed himself a swift glance at her as she re-entered, and saw beyond doubt that the corners of her mouth were twitching, that her eyes danced with some merriment that she could not completely control. his own face was better in command, and he knew he wore his grimmest aspect as he continued glancing through her typed letters and scrawling his name at the foot. as usual, she took each sheet from him, blotted it, and put it into its envelope. she always refused to use the little{258} piece of damped sponge for the gumming of the envelopes, but employed the tip of her tongue.����
