Then came tea, the luscious crumpet, the quiet game at cribbage, and the song the song which poor Eglantine heard, and which caused Woolsey's rage and his despair.
They were selling flowers and fruit, all kinds of fruit cherries, strawberries, rosy-cheeked apples, luscious grapes all freshly picked and sparkling with dew.
