The first week of my flower wardenship was a most strenuous one. I use the word reluctantly, but having tried half a dozen others, no equivalent seemed to fit. I had flowers in every room in the house, bedchambers included, using in this connection the cleanest-breathed and longest-lived blossoms possible.

Vanity of all human frailties the longest-lived still held its firmly-rooted place in this woman's nature; superior to torment of conscience, unassailable by terror of death! The good woman of the house waited a moment before she left the room. "What shall I say," she asked, "if the clergyman comes?" Mrs.

And then, after Him, His longest-lived disciple set forth the same mother and her three daughters under the three names that still stick to them to this day, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

Eystein interpreted the dream to mean that Olaf would die young and innocent; that the Saint was less radiant in coming for himself, because of his sins; and that Sigurd would be the longest-lived of the three.
