"I doubt if our friends would prefer meeting our neighbours, whom they don't know, to visiting with ourselves, whom they do however egotistic that may sound." "I want to make things gay for you," explained Camellia; "and the Latimers and the Elliots are very gay." The Judge only lifted his handsome eyebrows. "And the Liscombes are lovely," went on Camellia. "Mrs. Liscombe sings."
"Rose," said that most musical of voices; "when will you learn to forget and forgive? See, here is a peace-offering!" He had a white camellia in his button-hole a flower that half an hour ago had been chief beauty of Kate's bouquet. He took it out now, and twined its long stem in and out of her abundant curls. "Wear it," he said, "and I shall know I am forgiven. Wear it for my sake, Rose."

She wore no ornaments, being one of the few women who are able to dispense with them, unless indeed a red camellia pinned in the front of her dress can be called an ornament.
You'll know it for certain by a red camellia on the Arab driver's European coat. And by the way, take this Browning, in case of an attack; which I don't anticipate." As Jarvis Pasha spoke, he opened the door, and summoned in a brown young Britisher wearing the tarboosh which denotes "Gyppy" officialdom.

He is a hero, Renee, and he wears my livery, and always a red camellia in his buttonhole, while I have always a white one in my hand. How clear everything becomes in the light of love! How well I know my Paris now! It is all transfused with meaning.
It is he, it's Delobelle!" It was, in fact, the illustrious actor, whom he had discovered in the front row near the platform. His gray head was turned partly away from them.
