It was then my turn; and accordingly away I went in the same unexpected manner surprises and secrecy appearing to be the order of the day just then, returning home in due time with my humble offering to the blooming bride.
And let us thank him, too, for the sleigh-rides, cheered by the music of merry bells; for the crackling and rustling hearth, when the ruddy firelight gleams on hardy Manhood and the blooming cheek of Woman; for all the home enjoyments, and the kindred virtues, which flourish in a frozen soil.
Sweet, blooming, orange flowers! George's, Hanover Square, and Lord Methuselah hobbled in after. With what an engaging modesty she pulled down the blinds of the chariot the dear innocent! There were half the carriages of Vanity Fair at the wedding.
I'm going to say the growing, blooming season of this queer stuff is dead, hard winter. At least up here. I'm going to say the foliage lies dead the whole of the open season, and the root is dormant. I'm going to say these Sleepers don't know a thing but the stuff they find, and never have known in all their history.
"Never more so; for the edge of a blooming cheek is still in view at once too much and too little." Catherine heard all this, and quite out of countenance, could listen no longer.

And the Widow Marley stopped to dry her eyes with the corner of her shawl.
Clearly did I read in her eyes to-day that she is devotedly in love with you. But the devil is always busy, and sows his poisonous tares amongst the blooming wheat. Marguerite is on fire with an insane passion. She loves you with all the wild, passionate pain which only a fiery temperament is capable of feeling.
This bower was prolonged in the rear into a spacious and seemingly endless tropical garden, with wonderful blooming exotic plants and trees; and in this East Indian paradise, gaily-plumed, sweet-voiced birds of different size and colour were chirping, hopping, and hovering above their nests, among evergreen bushes and glorious flowers.
They were entering the stream where there was an opening clear of ice; the footing was not very secure, and the tall man ceased singing, but the little band sang on: "Beyond the blooming and the fading I shall be soon."
