sedge

What we shall do if an Indian springs from behind the bushes, or a crocodile comes out of the sedge, I don't know.

No Indian sprang from the bush, no crocodile came out of the sedge; and the river was crossed without one of them being drowned.

Low down in the hollow is a marshy spot, sedge-grown, and in the sedge lie yellow leaves of willow already fallen.

Why, that you were going to find a bar'l of rum in the Napeague sedge next light of the moon.

Far across, with sails gleaming white against the sea of sedge, was a schooner, beating slowly up the river.
