On this "table" were autumn leaves, sprigs of hemlock, a few ferns, and one chrysanthemum blossom. "Thith?" replied Pip, who, like all the others, had put on a "Sunday smile" to attract customers. "Thith ith a flower table. Will you buy a flower?" "If I can see one," said Aunt Stanshy, laughing. "There," said Pip, triumphantly holding up the lonely chrysanthemum. "One thent only! Thomething rare!"
They looked straight at David, who was sitting in the front of the box. He pointed deliberately at the chrysanthemum. "She sees it," said Jessica, for Anne's eyes were now fixed on the flower.
Tao Yuan-ming was called to fill an official post, and went up reluctantly to the capital; but very soon escaped back to the things he loved: the mountains, and his chrysanthemum garden, and the country, where he could hear the dogs barking in the far farms, and see the chickens scratching in the lanes.
The Drawer will still bet on the rose. This is not a wager, but only a strong expression of opinion. The rose will win. It does not look so now. To all appearances, this is the age of the chrysanthemum. What this gaudy flower will be, daily expanding and varying to suit the whim of fashion, no one can tell.
How could she possibly have hesitated about it, she wondered, when she came near the ball-grounds, and saw the gathering crowds; tall young men, with a red carnation or a shaggy great yellow chrysanthemum in their buttonholes; girls in furs; dancingly impatient small boys, and agitated and breathless chaperones.
Primrose and daffodil tints for the spring, the warm tones of the chrysanthemum for the autumn, while summer sunshine makes everything look well. The Trousseau. A young friend of mine who was going to be married last year said to me: "Oh! my things are so lovely! I never knew how delightful it was to be able to have all the beautiful things you want."
Miss Hannah was mournfully patting a frosted chrysanthemum under its golden chin when she saw a man limping slowly down the lane. "Now, who can that be?" she murmured. "It isn't any Prospect man, for there's nobody lame around here." She went to the garden gate to meet him. He came haltingly up the slope and paused before her, gazing at her wistfully.
In scientific selection-experiments such crosses are of course avoided, and the process of purification is unnecessary, even as in the Chrysanthemum culture. The first generation succeeding the original plant with disk-rays was in this respect wholly uniform and true to the new type.
"Well, since we've got so far," she pursued, "let's go one step further and copy them out in their proper order, putting those that are first, first; and those that come last, last." "It would be still better like that," Hsiang-yuen acquiesced, "as we'll be able to make up a 'chrysanthemum book."
It bore about as much resemblance to the dainty paddock heifers that Eshley was accustomed to paint as the chief of a Kurdish nomad clan would to a Japanese tea-shop girl. Eshley stood very near the gate while he studied the animal's appearance and demeanour. Adela Pingsford continued to say nothing. "It's eating a chrysanthemum," said Eshley at last, when the silence had become unbearable.
