"But they are not flowers, Daddy. They don't smell like flowers. I would rather have flowers, Daddy." "But there are no flowers till next year.

Let us throw them away. They are nasty, nasty things.
I never did admire the character of Mark Antony with any degree of extravagance, and since this experience I have felt actually bitter toward him. The guidebooks say that no visitor to Rome should miss seeing the Golden House of Nero. When a guidebook tries to be humorous it only succeeds in being foolish. Practical jokes are out of place in a guidebook anyway.
The Bishop took the worn old hand, now stone cold, laid it back upon the quilt, and covered it with his own. The drug he had administered had indeed revived the powers, but the over-excited brain was inclined to wander. He recalled it with a name which he knew would act as a potent spell. "Would you have news of the Prioress, Sister Antony?" Instantly the eyes grew eager.

"But these are the first." "And those other kisses?" "They? Oh, they were for Antony." "Ah, but if you have kissed Antony, Leander does not want your kisses." Her face seemed to fade slightly, as if certain lights had been extinguished. She withdrew a little from him and did not look at him. "Why?" she asked presently.

There it was. It would have been annoying if someone else had been beforehand and had bought it. Inside the shop more dangling spectres hung and the place was almost dark. It was a shabby pawnshop, and the man lounging behind the counter was a shabby man with an unshaven, unamiable face.
