An immense number of the very highest plants the aristocrats of the vegetable kingdom, such as the lordly composites, those ultimate products of plant evolution possess such floating feathery seeds; though here, again, the varieties of detail are too infinite for rapid or popular classification.
Thus every cause produces its effect; this effect in its turn becomes a cause, which in like manner produces an effect; this constitutes the eternal chain of things, which although perpetually changing in its detail, suffers no change in its whole.
As we went up through the narrow streets he imparted a long detail of woe; but he maundered over it considerably, and whether the lady who was mostly in question was his own wife, or some one else's wife, or no wife at all, was a point still hidden from me when we sheered up in front of his hotel.
They came presently to a separate part of the forest, which is impaled upon a straight white road. The earth beneath the trees was caught in a mesh of shadows. The trees are high and vaulted there, but the forest is very reticent. The detail of its making is so small that you can only see it if you lie down on your face.

She looked about her and saw that there was another door by which Lamberti would presently enter to let her out.
