They were nasty songs, and Merry touched me and said, 'Let us go after the aralia. We got away without their missing us at first, but they ran after us when they found it out, and if you had not been there, Uncle Clem " "Thank God I was! Now, Adrian, first tell me, did you taste this stuff? You said you sucked it in." "Well, I did, a little. You know, uncle, one cannot always be made a baby.
The climbing plants were still Panax or Aralia, Kadsura, Saurauja, Hydrangea, Vines, Smilax, Ampelopsis, Polygona, and, most beautiful of all, Stauntonia, with pendulous racemes of lilac blossoms. Epiphytes were rarer, still I found white and purple Caeloynes, and other Orchids, and a most noble white Rhododendron, whose truly enormous and delicious lemon-scented blossoms strewed the ground.
Pansy was hardly eight years old, and always agreed with her older sister, who was nearly eleven. "How I wish he were home again from his old ship," sighed Aralia, "and Tom with him!" "Well, Ara, we can sit here hours and hours every day and watch the sea, can't we?" "Yes, and we shall easily know the ship.
Sometimes Tom and the mate would have a boat lowered, and would set off bear-hunting. One day Tom brought home a young seal. It was such a beauty, with soft eyes and long, warm, fluffy hair. It was so small that even Pansy could carry it a little way in her arms. "Oh, do let us have it for a pet!" cried Aralia, and her uncle consented.
Fergus did not come off quite so well, for when the story had been told, though his mother had trembled and shed tears of thankfulness as she kissed him, and his sisters sprang at him and devoured him, while all the time he bemoaned his piece of the stump of an aralia, and a bit of cone of a pinus, and other treasures to which imaginative regret lent such an aid, that no doubt he would believe the lost contents of his bag to have been the most precious articles that he had ever collected; his father, however, took him into his study.
Adrian was so angry with me for my disrespect that I could hardly have got him to listen to me if Fergus had not made him understand, that to let himself be passive and be floated by me till the boats came up was the only thing to be done. There was one howl when he had to let go his beloved aralia, but he showed his soldier blood, and behaved most manfully."
But Aralia and Pansy, with sometimes Frank and always Veevee, may be seen any day playing on the sands not far from their mother's home, and Flossy too. Flossy is wondrously tame, and spends an hour or two almost every day in the sea, or on the beach, to the great delight of all who see her.
When he came aboard, his sisters met him with pleasure, although with tears in their eyes, for he had run a great risk. A day or two after this, when still farther north, the children had had their first run upon the ice. It was all so strange, and the ice was so white, that they felt very giddy for a time. But the professor held Pansy, and Tom walked by Aralia.
Ginseng, Atractylodes Lancea; Yunnan root; Prepared Ti root; Aralia edulis; Peony roots; Levisticum from Sze Ch'uan; Sophora tormentosa; Cyperus rotundus, prepared with rice; Gentian, soaked in vinegar; Huai Shan Yao root; Real "O" glue; Carydalis Ambigua; and Dried liquorice. "What exalted intelligence!" Chia Jung, after perusing it, exclaimed.
"Oh, I do hope, Uncle, you'll forgive me, but Frank and little Pansy and Aralia did want to come with us so much, that that !" "That you took them as stowaways, eh?" "I'm afraid that's it, sir." The captain pretended to be awfully angry, and said he would put about and land the lot at Aberdeen. "In the meantime, go below, children, and get yourselves washed; the steward will see to you. Steward!"
