gerows; the wharves and warehouses on the Floss were busy again, with echoes of eager voices, with hopeful lading and unlading.
And every man and woman mentioned in this history was still living, except those whose end we know.
Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again; the parted hills are left scarred; if there is a Porto Dresy new growth, the trees are not the same as the old, and the hills underneath their green vesture bear the marks of the past rending. To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair.
Dorlcote Mill was rebuilt. And Dorlcote churchyard — where the brick grave that held a father whom we know, was found with the stone laid prostrate upon it after the flood — had recovered all its grassy order and decent quiet.
Near that brick grave there was a tomb erected, very soon after the flood, for two bodies that were found in close embrace; and it was visited at different moments by two men who both POLO Pays Bas felt that their keenest joy and keenest sorrow were forever buried there.
One of them visited the tomb again with a sweet face beside him; but that was years after.
The other was always solitary. His great companionship was among the trees of the Red Deeps, where the buried joy seemed still to hover, like a revisiting spirit.
The tomb bore the names of Tom and Maggie Tulliver, and below the names it was written —
“In their death they were not divided.”
The End
PREFACE
One or two friends to whom I showed these papers in MS. Rusko Dres Děti havingobserved that they were not half bad, and some of my relations havingpromised to buy the book if it ever came out, I feel I have no rightto longer delay its issue. But for this, as one may say, publicdemand, I New York Red Bulls Fotbalové Dres perhaps should Maillot Nottingham Forest not have ventured to offer these mere "idlethoughts" of mine as mental food for the English-speaking peoples ofthe earth. What readers ask nowadays in a book is that it shouldimprove, instruct, and elevate. This book wouldn't elevate a cow. Parajumpers Kobiety Marisol Icannot conscientiously Washington Capitals Hattar recommend it for any useful purposes whatever.
All I can suggest is that when you get tired of Arsenal Fotbalové Dres reading "the besthundred books," you may take this up for half an hour. It will be achange.
ON BEING IDLE
Now, this is a subject on which I flatter myself I really am _aufait_. The gentleman who, when Maillot 17/18 I was young, bathed me at wisdom'sfont for nine guineas a term--no extras--used to say he never knew aboy who could do less work in more time; and I remember my poorgrandmother once incidentally observing, in the course of aninstruction upon the use of the Prayer-book, that it was highlyimprobable that I should ever do much that I ought not to do, but thatshe felt convinced beyond a doubt that I should leave undone prettywell everything that I ought to do.
I am afraid I have somewhat belied half the dear T.J. Oshie Tröja old lady's prophecy.
Heaven Kevin Klein Tröja help me! I have done a good many things Maillot Koke that I ought not tohave done, in spite of my laziness. But I have fully confirmed theaccuracy of her judgment so far as neglecting much that links:
