"Cornel," said Jarvis solemnly, "and she'll bear me witness, the young gentleman never heard a word from me no, nor from either groom or gardener; I'll gie ye my word for that. In the first place, he's no a lad that invites ye to talk. There are some that are, and some that arena. Some will draw ye on, till ye've tellt them a' the clatter of the toun, and a' ye ken, and whiles mair.
June seemed a little tardy here, but the elder, the rose, and the panicled cornel were almost ready, the button-bushes were showing ivory, while the arrow-wood, fully open, was glistening snowily everywhere, its tiny flower crowns falling and floating in patches down-stream, its over-sweet breath hanging heavy in the morning mist.
I always associate our moving with blue hepaticas, for I carried a great basketful of them, which I had taken up roots and all, in the woods, the morning we set out; and what should I find under papa's study window but a great thicket of wild ferns and cornel bushes growing just the place for my hepaticas, and I set them out before I went into the house.
We chatted together for a half-hour or so, and before we parted he had given me a good deal of general information about the town, the natives, the visitors, the sands, the golf-links, the hunting, and, with the rest, about our neighbours at table. 'Did ye notice the pink-faced bald little man at me right? That's Cornel Escott, C.B., retired.

On the afternoon of the Saturday in Easter week, say these writers, the priests of the eighteen principal 'deaconries' an ecclesiastical division of the city long ago abolished and now somewhat obscure caused the bells to be rung, and the people assembled at their parish churches, where they were received by a 'mansionarius, probably meaning here 'a visitor of houses, and a layman, who was arrayed in a tunic, and crowned with the flowers of the cornel cherry.
I immediately went down to the edge of a bushy and swampy meadow below our camp and brought him a four-petaled flower of galium, and a plant-stalk with four leaves in a whorl. In another locality I might have brought him dwarf cornel, or the houstonia, or wood-sorrel, or the evening-primrose.
At Monsieur's left, and facing me, sat Colonel Escott, very red and cheerful; then a young man who called the Colonel Cornel, and came from Dublin, proclaiming himself a barr'ster, and giving his name as Flarty, though on his card it was written Flaherty; and then Sir Richard Maistre.
Wha wad set themsels up for a laughin'-stock to a' the country-side, making a wark about a ghost? Naebody believes in ghosts. It bid to be the wind in the trees, the last gentleman said, or some effec' o' the water wrastlin' among the rocks. He said it was a' quite easy explained; but he gave up the hoose. And when you cam, Cornel, we were awfu' anxious you should never hear.
