"But do you know, Father Swythe," he continued, as he held his head on one side and looked critically at the staring white letter with its beautiful ornamentation, "I think if I could paint and painted that letter I shouldn't have left it all white like that." "What would you have done, then?" "I should have painted it deep yellow like a buttercup a good sunny yellow, to look like gold."
But it is just this utterly illogical, unreasonable, inconsequential character that gives the pursuit of the buttercup its charm. There is a pleasure in this irregular warfare, with its razzias and dashes and repulses and successes and skirmishes and flights, which we cannot get out of the regular operations of the sap and the mine.
He measured his way quickly over to the buttercup, his little back fairly popped into the air every other half second as he went furiously humping himself along. He found the cobweb covered with the gold dust of the buttercup, and taking it up hastily he hurried back. He knew just the spot where Stingy would dance before Silkie, beside a tall piece of Timothy Grass.
"There," she said, "spatter away as much as you like, while I cut a nice round paper carpet for your cage. I don't know your name, but I shall call you Buttercup, because you're so yellow." The bird cocked his black eye at her, and seemed to approve of his new attendant, for he hopped into his bath, and splashed the water vigorously.
The leaves, held up to the light, seem to have numerous eyelets, as if pricked but not quite through windows in the leaf. In the grass the short selfheal shows; and, leaning over the gate, on the edge of the wheat you may see the curious prickly seed-vessels of the corn buttercup the 'hedgehog' whose spines, however, will not scratch the softest skin.
Box I believe in your constancy. Buttercup Riches. You are rich. Calla Ethiopica Magnificent beauty. Carnation Pride and Beauty. Camelia Japonica Surpassing excellence. Cedar Think of me. China Aster Caprice. Cypress Despair, and without hope. Dahlia Dignity I will sustain it. Daisy Youthful beauty. Dandelion Coquetry, I accuse you of. Eglantine I wound to heal. Forget-me-not True love for ever.
We see, however, that those of the Bulbous Crowfoot or Buttercup form a real cup, while the petals of the Meadow Crowfoot spread out almost flat. The Meadow Crowfoot grows two or three feet high; the Buttercup is a shorter plant. The flowers are pretty, but that, I am afraid, is all that we can say for either of these plants.
Motley, includes, among others, such familiar names as the violet, the buttercup, the primula, the lily of the valley, the honeysuckle and the wood-sorrel. Of the tropical fruits in general I am inclined to think that their excellences have been very much over-estimated. There is nothing to equal or approach a fine jargonelle pear, a peach, or hothouse grapes.
You might have seen his eyes twinkle, therefore, when Clover, Sweet Fern, Cowslip, Buttercup, and most of their playmates, besought him to relate one of his stories, while they were waiting for the mist to clear up.
'For a time, yes, he answered, throwing away his cigarette; 'listen next week you must meet me here, and I will give you money to keep you in Melbourne for some time; then you must leave Ballarat at once and wait for me at the Buttercup Hotel in Gertrude Street, Carlton; you understand? 'Yes, faltered Kitty, nervously; 'I I understand.
