Victor Durnovo stooped over one of these. He buried his face among the leaves of it, and suddenly he toppled over. "Yes," he cried as he fell, "it's Simiacine!"

Herrick tells us it was formerly the practice to use birch and spring-flowers for decorative purposes at Whitsuntide:
The Knight shook his head with a faint smile, but for all that, Robin's words made him more blithe of heart, for in truth hope, be it never so faint, bringeth a gleam into darkness, like a little rushlight that costeth but a groat.
