The evening light colored huge bosquets of petunias, which stood with their white or crimson faces looking westward, as if they were thinking creatures. It illumined flame-colored verbenas, and tall columns of pink and snowy phloxes, and hedges of August roses, making them radiant as the flowers of a dream. The group in the summer-house requires more particular attention.
A tinder-box is a small matter! an object of infinitesimal importance when the broad light of day illumines the interior of houses or the bosquets of a park, but it becomes an object of paramount importance, when the night is pitch dark, and when it is necessary to effect an exchange of clothing within the four walls of a pavilion.

«On se trouve fort élevé au-dessus du Rhône quand on est sur le haut de ce chemin, dont on découvre un de plus singuliers, des plus riches, et de plus variés passages qu'on puisse imaginer. On voit sous ses pieds le Rhône serpenter dans le lit qu'il se creuse actuellement, car il change et tout prouve qu'il en a souvent changé; une quantité prodigieuse de petites isles le séparent et le coupent en une multitude de canaux et de bras; ces isles sont couvertes les unes d'arbres, d'arbustes, de pâturages, de bosquets et de verdure, d'autres de pierres, de sable, et de débris de rochers; quelques-unes sont formées ou occasionnées par un amas de troncs d'arbres entassés avec de grands sapins renversés dont les long tiges hérissées de branches droites et nues représentent des chevaux de frise, et donnent l'idée de ces abatis destinés
In one of the apartments appropriated to the earl in the royal palace, within the embrasure of a vast Gothic casement, sat Anne of Warwick; the small wicket in the window was open, and gave a view of a wide and fair garden, interspersed with thick bosquets and regular alleys, over which the rich skies of the summer evening, a little before sunset, cast alternate light and shadow.
