A few moments later the back door of one of the bungalows opened, and a figurein a broad-striped bathing suit flung down the paddock, cleared the stile,rushed through the tussock grass into the hollow, staggered up the sandyhillock, and raced for dear life over the big porous stones, over the cold, wetpebbles, on to the hard sand that gleamed like ...
Beryl was alone in the living-room when Stanley appeared, wearing a blue sergesuit, a stiff collar and a spotted tie. He looked almost uncannily clean andbrushed; he was going to town for the day. Dropping into his chair, he pulledout his watch and put it beside his plate. “I’ve just got twenty-five minutes,” he said. “Youmight go and see if the po...
“Wait for me, Isa-bel! Kezia, wait for me!” There was poor little Lottie, left behind again, because she found it sofearfully hard to get over the stile by herself. When she stood on the firststep her knees began to wobble; she grasped the post. Then you had to put oneleg over. But which leg? She never could decide. And when she did finally putone ...
In a steamer chair, under a manuka tree that grew in the middle of the frontgrass patch, Linda Burnell dreamed the morning away. She did nothing. Shelooked up at the dark, close, dry leaves of the manuka, at the chinks of bluebetween, and now and again a tiny yellowish flower dropped on her.Pretty—yes, if you held one of those flowers on the palm o...
The tide was out; the beach was deserted; lazily flopped the warm sea. The sunbeat down, beat down hot and fiery on the fine sand, baking the grey and blueand black and white-veined pebbles. It sucked up the little drop of water thatlay in the hollow of the curved shells; it bleached the pink convolvulus thatthreaded through and through the sand-hi...
The sun was still full on the garden when the back door of the Burnells’shut with a bang, and a very gay figure walked down the path to the gate. Itwas Alice, the servant-girl, dressed for her afternoon out. She wore a whitecotton dress with such large red spots on it and so many that they made youshudder, white shoes and a leghorn turned up under ...
A strange company assembled in the Burnells’ washhouse after tea. Roundthe table there sat a bull, a rooster, a donkey that kept forgetting it was adonkey, a sheep and a bee. The washhouse was the perfect place for such ameeting because they could make as much noise as they liked, and nobody everinterrupted. It was a small tin shed standing apart f...
Light shone in the windows of the bungalow. Two square patches of gold fellupon the pinks and the peaked marigolds. Florrie, the cat, came out on to theveranda, and sat on the top step, her white paws close together, her tailcurled round. She looked content, as though she had been waiting for thismoment all day. “Thank goodness, it’s getting late,”...
Why does one feel so different at night? Why is it so exciting to be awake wheneverybody else is asleep? Late—it is very late! And yet every moment youfeel more and more wakeful, as though you were slowly, almost with everybreath, waking up into a new, wonderful, far more thrilling and exciting worldthan the daylight one. And what is this queer sen...

And after all the weather was ideal. They could not have had a more perfect day for a garden-party if they had ordered it. Windless, warm, the sky without a cloud. Only the blue was veiled with a haze of light gold, as it is sometimes in early summer. The gardener had been up since dawn, mowing the lawns and sweeping them, until the grass and the dark flat rosettes where the daisy plants had ...
