A LONG DA Y 



done, though in fairly hard condition with the constant 

 cHmbing of the past few weeks. The cooHes got in 

 about 3.30 P.M. also badly done up, but a promise of 

 double pay on account of the severity of the day's work 

 made them quite content. 



The bough of a birch -tree made a pleasant seat 

 during the day in that breezy wood, and in the evening 

 my tent was pitched in a meadow deep in grass, and 

 brilliant with blue, white, yellow, and purple flowers.
