Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush Quotes

“There grows a bonnie brier bush in our kail-yard,
And white are the blossoms on't in our kail-yard.”
― Ian Maclaren, Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush

“The present school-house stands in an open place beside the main road to Muirtown, treeless and comfortless, built of red, staring stone, with a playground for the boys and another for the girls, and a trim, smug-looking teacher's house, all very neat and symmetrical and well-regulated... It has pitch-pine benches and map-cases, and a thermometer to be kept at not less than 58 degrees and not more than 62 degrees, and ventilators which the Inspector is careful to examine.”
― Ian Maclaren, Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush
