The driver, a fellow with one eye and a grey cap with a double red camelia in it, being drunk, thrashed the horses and shouted, while an old American lady with ringlets shrieked inside the omnibus, and bawled out that she had paid a franc beforehand, and now wanted to get out.
The Spanish South American Countess was of a camelia paleness, and had almond-shaped dark eyes with brooding lashes under slender brows that met. In contrast, her hair was of a flame colour vivid as her draperies, and her lips were red.
Like the Ku Klux Klan, it also absorbed several minor local societies. The White Camelia had a national organization with headquarters in New Orleans. Its business was conducted by a Supreme Council of the United States, with Grand, Central, and Subordinate Councils for each state, county, and community.
"There was a terrific sandstorm, and after blowing and blowing and blowing, we found ourselves in this little wood. The odd part of it is that you talk in our language. Never knew a two-leg to understand a word of Camelia before." "You're not talking Camelia, you're talking Ozish," laughed Dorothy. "All animals can talk here."
The White League of Louisiana, the White Line of Mississippi, the White Man's party of Alabama, and the Rifle Clubs of South Carolina, were later manifestations of the general Ku Klux movement. The two largest secret orders, however, were the Ku Klux Klan, from which the movement took its name, and the Knights of the White Camelia.
"Madam," said Titbottom to my wife, whose heart hung upon his story; "your husband's young friend, Aurelia, wears sometimes a camelia in her hair, and no diamond in the ball-room seems so costly as that perfect flower, which women envy, and for whose least and withered petal men sigh; yet, in the tropical solitudes of Brazil, how many a camelia bud drops from a bush that no eye has ever seen, which, had it flowered and been noticed, would have gilded all hearts with its memory.
Camelia Road would soon stand out like a fortress, and command, for a little, an extensive view. Only for a little. Plans were out for the erection of flats in Magnolia Road also. And again a few years, and all the flats in either road might be pulled down, and new buildings, of a vastness at present unimaginable, might arise where they had fallen. "Evening, Mr. Bast." "Evening, Mr. Cunningham."
The members were pledged to vote only for whites, to oppose Negro equality in all things, but to respect the legitimate rights of Negroes. The smaller orders were similar in purpose and organization to the Ku Klux Klan and the White Camelia. Most of them joined or were affiliated with the large societies.
"No matter what beautiful colours they have. A camelia is a foolish flower; like a blind man's face the chief thing is wanting. But then, of course, the smell must remind one of pleasant things. It's strange, isn't it, how much association has to do with pleasure? or pain. Some things affect me so strongly that they make me wretched.
"Kind and charming! It is not much," laughed the young girl. "Unless you mean much more than you say and I asked you to be indiscreet!" "Kind hearts are rare enough in this world, Donna Beatrice, and as for charm " "What is charm?" "It is what the violet has, and the camelia has not " "Heavens! Are you going to sigh to me in the language of flowers?" "Beatrice!
