“The boy nods and pulls sugar from his pocket, no bag, just loose granules. He reaches into the other pocket and pulls out somewhat-melted pieces of chocolate. "I have cigarettes and candles in my socks.”

“THE sultry summer day is done, The western hills have hid the sun, But mountain peak and village spire Retain reflection of his fire.
Old Barnard's towers are purple still, To those that gaze from Toller-hill; Distant and high, the tower of Bowes Like steel upon the anvil glows; And Stanmore's ridge, behind that lay, Rich with the spoils of parting day, In crimson and in gold array'd, Streaks yet a while the closing shade, Then slow resigns to darkening heaven The tints which brighter hours had given. Thus aged men, full loath and slow, The vanities of life forego,
And count their youthful follies o'er, Till Memory lends her light no more.”

“Still it is beautiful up here," she said with lingering footsteps.
"Art sorry to come down yonder with me?" asked Joseph.
"If thou wast to lead me into the deepest pit under the earth where no gleam of day ever shone, still I'd go with thee and never question nor com-plain," she said, and her voice sounded so wonder-fully soft that Joseph's eyes were moist.
There was a sudden rush down from the roof of the hut. "Oh, my Hansl I'd almost forgotten thee!" cried Wally. "And thou-?" she said smiling at Joseph, "thou must make friends with him, for now you two are brothers in fate. I fetched thee from the precipice as well as him.”
― The Vulture Maiden: [Die Geier-Wally] by Wilhelmine Von Hillern. From the German by C. Bell and E.F. Poynter. 1876 [Leather Bound]
