Rachael exchanged calls at long intervals with her sisters and their intimate friends, the Yards, Lillies, Crugers, Stevens, Langs, and Goodchilds, but she had been too great a lady to strive now for social position, practically dependent as she was on the charity of her relatives. In the third year of their life on St.
"In the water," replied Leona; "among the great lillies." "It's the tapir," cried Leon. "Carrambo! it's our tapir!" Guapo was busy plucking his macaws, but at the word tapir he sprang to his feet, making the feathers fly in all directions. "Where, señorita?" he asked, addressing little Leona. "Down below," replied the child; "near the edge of the river."
Sidney might have quoted his description of Pamela sewing, to justify his belief that "It is not rhyming and versing that maketh poesy": Pamela, who that day having wearied her selfe with reading, * was working upon a purse certaine roses and lillies. * The flowers shee had wrought caried such life in them, that the cunningest painter might have learned of her needle: which, with so pretty a manner, made his careers to & fro through the cloth, as if the needle it selfe would haue been loth to haue gone fromward such a mistresse, but that it hoped to returne thitherward very quickly againe; the cloth looking with many eyes vpon her, and louingly embracing the wounds she gaue it: the sheares also were at hand to behead the silke that was growne too short.
A smile played on his lips, for he suddenly recalled the strange comparison of old Nicandre, who likened, in the point of form, the pistils of lillies to the genital organs of a donkey; and he recalled also a passage from Albert le Grand, in which that thaumaturgist describes a strange way of discovering whether a girl is still a virgin, by means of a lettuce.
Come, Sir, I meane to have a bout with you. De. At that weapon? Sis. This, and no other. De. Ile rather bleed to death then lift a sword In my defence, whose inconsiderate brightnes May fright the Roses from your cheeke and leave The Lillies to lament the rude divorce. Enter Courtwell. Cou. I can hold no longer. You have gott a stomack, Sir, with running; ile try how you can eate a sword. De.
What Eyes you have like Heaven blue and charming, a pretty Mouth, Neck round and white as polisht Alabaster, and a Complexion beauteous as an Angel, a Hair fit to make Bonds to insnare the God of Love, a sprightly Air, a Hand like Lillies white, and Lips, no Roses opening in a Morning are half so sweet and soft. Fran. Oh, damn'd circumcised Turk. Car.
Parisian society which smells to heaven in fashionable odors has now originated garters made of primroses, harebells, narcissus, violets and lillies, the same being worn by the ladies at balls and receptions in Paris. Knots of blossoms are caught among the thick flouncings and ruches of the petticoats; and even the embroidered corset has its little bouquet attachment.
But its no use talkin, they are just made critters that's a fact, full of health and life and beauty, now, to change them are splendid white water lillies of Connecticut and Rhode Island, for the yaller crocusses of Illanoy, a what we don't like. It goes most confoundedly agin the grain, I tell you.
White roses and lillies of the valley make the air heavy with their breath, drawn out by the attractive rays of the beaming afternoon sun. We enter the hall, and peep into the different rooms. In the dining-room is the remains of an ample repast.
And if at any time shee put her mouth to bite it off, it seemed, that where she had beene long in making of a rose with her hands, she would in an instant make roses with her lips; as the lillies seemed to haue their whitenesse rather of the hand that made them, than of the matter whereof they were made; & that they grew there by the suns of her eyes, and were refreshed by the most * comfortable ayre, which an unawares sigh might bestow upon them.
