[The Harvester by Gene Stratton Porter]@TWC D-Link bookThe Harvester CHAPTER XV 1/65
.
THE HARVESTER INTERPRETS LIFE. They went through the rooms together, and the Girl suggested the furnishings she thought necessary, while the Harvester wrote the list. The following morning he was eager to have her company, but she was very tired and begged to be allowed to wait in the swing, so again he drove away and left her with Belshazzar on guard.
When he had gone, she went through the cabin arranging the furniture the best she could, then dressed and went to the swinging couch.
It was so wide and heavy a light wind rocked it gently, and from it she faced the fern and lily carpeted hillside, the majesty of big trees of a thousand years, and heard the music of Singing Water as it sparkled diamond-like where the sun rays struck its flow.
Across the drive and down the valley to the brilliant bit of marsh it hurried on its way to Loon Lake. There were squirrels barking and racing in the big trees and over the ground.
