At the sight Bernez stood transfixed with horror, and said, 'We are lost! They will crush us to death. 'Not me! answered the sorcerer, holding up the crowsfoot and the five-leaved trefoil, 'for these will preserve me.
But the same difficulty generally arises when new varieties are discovered. Even the behavior of the plants themselves or of their progeny does not afford any means of deciding the question. The simplest way of stating the matter therefore, is to say that I accidentally found two individuals of the "five-leaved" race.
Leaf after leaf he threw aside in disgust, and he had nearly reached the end when he gave a cry of joy the five-leaved trefoil was in his hand. The beggar scrambled to his feet, and without a pause walked quickly down the road that led northwards. The moon was bright, and for some hours he kept steadily on, not knowing how many miles he had gone, nor even feeling tired.
'Ah, I remember now, replied the donkey, 'but the stones return so quickly to their places, that you certainly would be crushed to death unless you have in your hands a bunch of crowsfoot and of five-leaved trefoil.
These last we have shown to be double races. Their peculiar and wide range of variability is due to the substitution of two characters, which exclude one another, or if combined, are diminished in various degrees. Striped flowers and stocks, "five-leaved" clover, pistilloid opium-poppies and numerous other monstrosities have been dealt with as instances of such ever-sporting varieties.
This rule is shown by no other race in a more undoubted and evident manner than by the "five-leaved" clover.
The floor was polished oak, with only an island of faded Persian carpet in the centre, and Indian prayer rugs lying about here and there. There were chairs and tables of richly carved Bombay blackwood, Japanese cabinets in the recesses beside the fire-place, a five-leaved Indian screen between the fire-place and the door.

Whether weakness or strength are derived from outer causes, or from the internal succession of the periods of life, is evidently of no consequence, and in this way the law of periodicity may be regarded as a special instance of the more general law of response to external conditions. The validity of this law of periodicity is of course not limited to our "five-leaved" clover.
Leaf after leaf he threw aside in disgust, and he had nearly reached the end when he gave a cry of joy the five-leaved trefoil was in his hand.
