Tortuous foot-paths of vivid pink wound over brilliant green terraces of young paddy.

Gray vapors from river and paddy-field, lingering like steam in a slow breeze, paled and dispersed in the growing light, as the new day, worse than the old, came sullenly without breath or respite.

At the first shock, the rioters broke and scattered, fled round corners of the wall, crashed through bamboos, went leaping across paddy-fields toward the river.

If Joel and his fellow-delinquents had joined the party at the mill, the name, age, character and spirit of every man remaining in the garrison were probably known to its leaders; and neither quakers nor paddies would count for much in opposing an assault.

"Do hear that old thief trying to come Paddy over the Lord!" As he spoke, he pointed his thumb backward toward Deacon Stillham's house, whence proceeded a very loud and monotonous voice of prayer.

As for those poor Paddies, I never ask them for rent; if I did, I should not get it; so there is no generosity in that.

To her dismay she saw they had turned into a rough and untravelled road with paddy-fields on either side.

They needed no second bidding, and the Inspector was soon being trundled across the paddy fields that lay between the village and the road.

They drove over a stream that curved through sparkling green rice paddies.

After setting out, the wind was found too strong to resist with paddies, and I turned into the sheltered bay of the old French fort.

There has been a considerable flow of workmen back and forth between India and Burma and Ceylon, for in those provinces labor is scarce, wages are high and large numbers of Hindus are employed in the rice paddies and tea plantations.

Not the least curious features in these same Paddies is the fact that, while cursing England for her treatment of Ireland, they all unite as one man in favour of Slavery.

The Chinese call them "cow-cows" and understand them better than the Tagals, as they understand better the rice and the paddies.

Paddy's surprise visitor.

The lower golf-greens resemble paddy-fields, and round the marg the spires of dull grey pines stand dripping in a steadfast shower-bath.

But the Onondaga was aware that his were not the only keen ears on the lake, and that, gentle as was the movement of the paddies that he and Robert held, it might be heard.
