Well, Avena, what has moved thee to bring a fresh face into this my dungeon, prithee? It should be somewhat of import." "Madame, this is my Lord's Grace elect of York, who, coming hither on his way southwards, mine husband counted it good for your Grace's soul to shrive you of his Grace's hand. My Lord, if your Grace have need of a crucifix, or of holy water, both be behind this curtain.
It is however worthy of attention, as the seeds are produced very abundantly in its native places of growth. It will grow either in wet or dry soils. AVENA pubescens. ROUGH OAT-GRASS. This appears to have some merits, but the foliage is extremely bitter. It grows in dry soils. AVENA elatior.
But by my troth and faith, they shall not still my soul, nor lay bonds upon my tongue when I choose to speak. Avena Foljambe! the kinswoman of a wretched traitor, that met the fate he deserved why, hath she ten drops of good blood in her veins? And she looks to lord it over a daughter of Charlemagne, that hath borne sceptre ere she carried spindle!"
The Countess sat in her large chair of carved walnut, made easy by being lined with large, soft cushions. There were no easy chairs of any other kind. She was in her favourite place, near the window. "Well, Avena, good morrow! Didst have half my message, or the whole?" "I am here, Dame, to take your Grace's orders."
"'Tis right the thing I should have done myself, as a young maid," said she. "Ay, I loved dearly to make lordly, sober folks look foolish. Poor Father Jordan, howbeit, was scarce fit game for her crossbow. If she had brought Avena Foljambe down, I'd have given her a clap on the back. Now, maid, let us see how thou canst braid up this old white hair for the pillow.
Well, Avena, to come down to such petty matter as I count I shall be suffered to have, prithee, bring me some violet silk of this shade for broidery, and another yard or twain of red samitelle for the backing. It were not in thy writ of matters allowable, I reckon, that the pedlars should come up and open their packs in my sight?" Lady Foljambe looked scandalised. "Dear heart!
In her chamber she found not only Amphillis, who was on duty, but the Archbishop also. He sat by the bed with the book of the Gospels in his hands a Latin version, of course from which he had been translating a passage to the invalid. "Well, what now, Avena?" faintly asked the Countess, who read news in Lady Foljambe's face.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS. This is a large variety of cabbage, very productive and hardy. The culture is the same as for Cattle-cabbage. BRASSICA oleracea. DRUM-HEAD CABBAGE. This is usually sown in March and the plants put out into beds, and then transplanted into the fields; this grows to a most enormous size, and is very profitable. About four pounds of seed is sufficient for an acre. AVENA sativa.
Of this crime Lady Foljambe made the most. "Now, Avena," said the Countess, as peremptorily as her languor permitted, "hearken me, and be no more of a fool than thou canst help. Now beware, and be wise. And if it need more, then mind thou" and the tone grew regal "that Amphillis Neville is my servant, not thine, and that I choose not she be removed from me.
The unskilful make strange noises and gurglings through this tenuis avena; but to those who have not forgotten the accomplishment of suction, as acquired at an early period of existence, the modus in quo is easy and agreeable. You will hardly weary of watching the groups that come and go and sit and talk in this dreamy place.
