If I suffer repulse, the same thing has happened to better men before, so I'll get a different banner and try again." Laddie mounted, swept a circle in the road, dropped Flos on her knees in a bow, and waved the branch.
That night Laddie rode to Pryors'. When he brought Flos to the gate you could see the shadow of your face on her shining flank; her mane and tail were like ravelled silk, her hoofs bright as polished horn, and her muzzle was clean as a ribbon. I broke one of those rank green sprouts from the snowball bush and brushed away the flies, so she wouldn't fret, stamp, and throw dust on herself.
He was familiar with the works both of the Greeks and of the Arabs, and it was largely through his translations that the works of Rhazes and Avicenna became known in the West. One work above all others spread the fame of the school the Regimen Sanitatis, or Flos Medicinae as it is sometimes called, a poem on popular medicine.
I'm not sure that he couldn't even whip Laddie, if he got mad enough! Maybe he can't whip the traveller if he has the gun, but, father, Leon simply couldn't take the money.

Here the probationary disciple of Galen, who stood at his master's door in his flat cap and canvass sleeves, with a large wooden pestle in his hand, took up the ball which was flung to him by Jenkin, with, "What d'ye lack, sir? Buy a choice Caledonian salve, Flos sulphvr. cum butyro quant. suff." "To be taken after a gentle rubbing-down with an English oaken towel," said Vincent.

In the time of this abbot, William of Normandy invaded England, and Leofric was for some time with the English army. But in consequence of ill health he was obliged to leave it and return to his monastery, where he died the same year. He is highly praised in the Chronicle as "pulcherrimus Monachorum, flos et decus Abbatum." He was uncle to Hereward, the Saxon patriot, and created him knight.
Butler failed not to start with his "Ut flos in septis secretus nascitur hortis," etc., while his wife could hardly persuade herself that all this was spoken of Effie Deans, and by so competent a judge as the Duke of Argyle; and had she been acquainted with Catullus, would have thought the fortunes of her sister had reversed the whole passage.
