Excerpt from A Day's Pleasure: Or the Half-Holiday Adventures of Some Little People

Unluckily about a fortnight before the day when we stood on the doorstep, a hard frost had set in; and if Storm was barely man ageable when he had plenty of work to do, he became unbearable, furious, and mad, when he had no longer any hunting to carry off his surplus energy. Indeed, he drove our worthy coachman and Young, the groom, almost to despair.

Excerpt from A Day's Pleasure: Or the Half-Holiday Adventures of Some Little People

Were you ever at Monmouth Beach? Oh, it's just lovely - such lots of children playing all day long by the water! Sometimes in the morning dozens of the mbathe at once, and then such a noise and splatter; and what fun to come out of the sea and tear along the sand till you are warm again! Then when the bathing is all over you can build sand forts and castles, and you can fish with a net for crabs and jelly-fish, and all the queer things that come up with the tide. Now and then a little shark gets washed up on the sands; in fact, there are all kinds of odds and ends of every description thrown up. Just a little way along the shore you can see the fishermen going out and coming in; and isn't it just strange the way they run their boats through the surf! If you sit on one of the benches you can look out on the ocean, and there, right in front of you, you will probably see the "Plymouth Rock," or one of those great three-deckers that run down to Long Branch, all dressed out with its dozens of flags, and literally black with the hundreds of people on its decks. Or perhaps you will see a race between two steamers. Or you may see some Southern vessels sailing along towards home after a long voyage to the other side of the world.
