Wherever the eye lingers it is sure to discover enchanting districts gardens of surpassing loveliness, where grow groves of orange and lemon trees white with blossom or golden with fruit; stately palms of many varieties; the two-leaved eucalyptus; rose-bushes whose flowers are far more numerous than their leaves; magnolia and camellia trees capable of producing a thousand flowers; villas of Venetian, English, Swiss, Italian, and Oriental architecture.
"Do you know this variety?" "Very well," she replied; "this is the camellia that weeps." He broke off the flowers. "Marie," he said, "I never have been much addicted to sentimentality, but this flower I shall keep." She turned upon him her astonished eyes. "Because I love it," he added. The noise of a step made them both turn.
"And let us get on a little faster," said Blondet; "you are maundering." "Isaure," continued Bixiou, looking askance at Blondet, "wore a simple white crepe dress with green ribbons; she had a camellia in her hair, a camellia at her waist, another camellia at her skirt-hem, and a camellia " "Come, now! here comes Sancho's three hundred goats." "Therein lies all literature, dear boy.
"Camellia's husband is a downright good fellow," said the Skeptic warmly. "The fuss and feathers of his wife's hospitality can't prevent his giving you the real thing. Even Philo likes to go there particularly when Camellia is away. I presume Philo's invited now?"
But he looked often to the side-door where the milliner's apprentices stood; and once he recognised the tall, slight figure, and the rich auburn hair of the girl in black; and then his eye sought for the camellia. It was there, snowy white in her bosom. And he danced on more gaily than ever. The cold grey dawn was drearily lighting up the streets when Mrs Mason and her company returned home.
I cannot say what in these last words of papa gave me a whole revelation. "I think you are mistaken, papa," I said. "I am Daisy yet." "I was mistaken," said papa smiling, but rather shadowedly, I thought; "I should have said a rose camellia. Here is Lord Montjoy, my dear. Go." I am sure Lord Montjoy had little satisfaction in that ride; at least I am sure I had little.
I am dressed in white white camellias in my hair, and another in my hand. My mother has red camellias; so it would not be impossible to take one from her if I wished! I have a strange longing to put off the decision to the last moment, and make him pay for his red camellia by a little suspense. What a vision of beauty! Griffith begged me to stop for a little and be admired.
In answer to a mechanical "Come," the Baroness appeared. The rustle of her silken morning gown caused Berene to turn suddenly and face her; and as she met the eyes of her visitor the young woman's pallor gave place to a wave of deep crimson, which dyed her face and neck like the shadow of a red flag falling on a camellia blossom.
Very skilful little paws lightly tickled her arms, and then her feet, in order to call her attention to the labors of invisible waiting maids, who were about dressing her in a robe of white velvet, cut out of the petals of a white camellia, confined round the waist by a turquoise clasp, borrowed from the myosotis.
He wore evening clothes that were a little too elaborate, a white camellia in his buttonhole, and a thick-lensed monocle on a black ribbon. During the entr'acte he stood up and surveyed the house from pit to gallery, as if he wanted to be seen. He was very tall and the ugliest man in England.
