They walked along the side of this field, by a very pleasant path with high green grass and flowers on one side, and a wall with a great many raspberry bushes growing by it, and now and then little thickets of trees, on the other.

The bushes and trees made the walk that they were going in very cool and shady.

There were plenty of raspberries upon the bushes, but they were not yet ripe.

Phonny said that when the raspberries were ripe he meant to come out to Mary Erskine's again and get some.
Presently the children turned a sort of a corner which was formed by a group of trees, and then they came in sight of the hay-making party.
"Oh, they have got the horse and cart," said Phonny.

So saying he set off as fast he could run, toward the hay-makers, Malleville following him.
The horse and cart were standing in the middle of the field among the numerous winrows of hay.
