For a few moments the party stood mute and motionless, and the Prince then proceeded to plant a chestnut by the side of the tomb.

Sida 364 - How to Lay Out a Garden. Intended as a general guide in choosing, forming, or improving an estate (from a quarter of an acre to a hundred acres in extent), with reference to both design and execution.
Sida 130 - It then becomes necessary to cut the obstructing logs or " timber jam," as it is called, with axes. Only the bravest, coolest, and most experienced of the lumberers can attempt this most dangerous of all their tasks, for when once the logs which bar the passage are half cut through the might of the press behind breaks them like straws, and some 10,000 trunks of trees come plunging down with a rush and confusion that but too often renders all the coolness and activity of those who are trying to escape...
