He made even Brentwood laugh; he danced all the evening with that giddy girl Lesbia Burke, who let slip that she remembered me at Naples in 1805, when she was there with that sad old set, and who consequently must be nearly as old as myself." "I hope you danced with her," said Mrs. Buckley. "Indeed I did, my dear. And she wore a wreath of yellow chrysanthemum, no other flowers being obtainable.
A young man will catch the whole family with this flaming message, but where is that sentiment that once set the maiden heart in a flutter? Will she press a chrysanthemum, and keep it till the faint perfume reminds her of the sweetest moment of her life?

She had forgotten about the "tip-trough," but she understood its significance. In a few moments a cascade shot out over the wheel, sending the water far into the garden. "Right over my chrysanthemum bed," sighed Dorothy. The wheel swung slower and slower, the mocking tumult subsided, and the old mill sank into sleep again.
What is certainly true is that to cultivate chrysanthemum flowers in the part of Himeji called Go-KenYashiki is deemed unlucky, because the name of O- Kiku signifies 'Chrysanthemum.
