Let's go and look at the place where we planted them, Carter." So they turned aside to the flowerbed where the precious seeds had been planted, but not even Marjorie's sharp eyes could detect the tiniest green sprout.
It is this cumulative habit that accounts for the marked flowerbed or jam-tart character which everybody must have noticed in the high Alpine flora. Aristocracies usually pride themselves on their antiquity: and the high life of the mountains is undeniably ancient.
And then it had passed into old Kinney's hands. Walking along up the path he felt a serious weakness in his limbs, and he made a pretense of stopping to look at a flowerbed containing nothing but weeds. After seven years of separation he was about to face once more the woman whose life came so near being a part of his- Agnes, now a wife and a mother. How would she look?
Any other time I would have hunted a stick and made the snake let loose. To-day I just sat there and let things happen as they did. At last I wandered up the road, climbed the back garden fence, and sat on the board at the edge of a flowerbed, and to-day, I could tell to the last butterfly about that garden: what was in bloom, how far things had grown, and what happened.
Sam looked at the Doctor, and then through the window at his old enemy lying in the middle of the flowerbed.

He stood half-checked while her steady eyes left his face, roamed from him contrasting, as ashamed he felt, the purity of the still night with the clamour of his turbulent passions and settled on an adjacent flowerbed. At last she spoke, very calmly. "There is a potting-box just there," she said.
It would be hard to say who was most delighted, Christina or her mother or her father; but I am inclined to think the latter took more pure happiness in his well-equipped little shop, with the big sign, 'CARL JANSEN, BLACKSMITH, and the picture of a man shoeing a horse, than Christina did in the flowerbed, or her mother in the comfortable household arrangements.
There is always the look of a flowerbed at dawn, before Chanticleer's second call has brought the sun to sharpen outlines, before dreams and night-mist have altogether quitted the place. Plenty of warm wood colours are there, of lake blues, of smothered reds.
A thick gold chain is displayed across his waistcoat, attached to an expensive gold watch, bought for him by his supposed father. He carries in his hand a natty cane, and struts along with head aloft and nose in the air. Two under-gardeners are at work upon a flowerbed as he passes.
