"He, he!" assented the clerk, laughing slyly, and showing his toothless gums, "there is some truth in that.
And see, the wild flowers, even in this waning season of the year, the delicate lilac of the dear autumn crocus, which seems to start up elf-like out of the lush grass, the coral beads of the rowan, and the beech-trees just begun to wear their autumn jewelry of old gold.
