And besides all these a few small streams come over the walls at wide intervals, leaping from ledge to ledge with birdlike song and watering many a hidden cliff-garden and fernery, but they are too unshowy to be noticed in so grand a place.
Then there was a long pause, and a few more sentences expressive of admiration were exchanged, and somehow Katherine began to feel that her companion was rather bored and preoccupied, so she turned her steps towards the house, intending to release him. At the further side of the fernery, in a pretty path between green banks, they suddenly met Errington face to face.
The car was sent on to the wood, and Bessie and her two sisters produced their fern trowels, and began digging and delving for rare specimens real or imaginary assisted by Mr. Jardine, who had more knowledge but less enthusiasm than the girls. 'I can't think what you can want with more ferns, said Urania, disdainfully; 'every corner at The Knoll has its fernery.
I must read it again," and Dorothy gazed at the rocks around her as if she were really in Scotland. "Has anybody a knife?" asked Della's clear voice, bringing them all sharply back to America and Rosemont. "My aunt the one who has the hanging flowerpots I was telling you about isn't a bit well and I thought I'd make her a little fernery that she could look at as she lies in bed."
He did not find the object of his search in the walks of the plantation; and, on taking the circuit of his demesne, wound his way back towards the lawn through a sequestered rocky hollow in the rear of the marquee, which had been devoted to a fernery.
I had often read of the earwig as an incubating insect, and much wished to see for myself how she carried out her motherly instincts. One bright May morning found me busily turning over stones, clinkers, and old tree-roots in a fernery, which, having been long undisturbed, seemed a likely spot for the nest I wished to find.
The last saloon led into a room of smaller dimensions, opening on the garden, and which Lothair at first thought must be a fernery, it seemed so full of choice and expanding specimens of that beautiful and multiform plant; but, when his eye had become a little accustomed to the scene and to the order of the groups, he perceived they were only the refreshing and profuse ornaments of a regularly furnished and inhabited apartment.
Here we halted; it was time to turn back. There was an indentation in the rocks near at hand, fretted away by hungry floods of the past and overhung, now, with creepers and drooping fernery, concerning which my Tripolitan companion told me a long and complicated legend. This shadowy hollow, he explained, was the bridal couch, in olden days, of an earthly maiden and her demon-lover.
She was never out of disgrace, so it did not matter to her how she sat. Below the oak tree the lawn dipped down a bank, stretched to the fernery, and, beyond that refinement, became fields, dropping to the pond, the coppice, and the prospect 'Fine, remarkable' at which Swithin Forsyte, from under this very tree, had stared five years ago when he drove down with Irene to look at the house.
Kenelm grasped the Squire's hand cordially. "May it be in my power to do a kind thing to you, in spite of any system to the contrary!" "Mr. Chillingly, give your arm to my daughter. You will not now object to join the dancers?" CECILIA stole a shy glance at Kenelm as the two emerged from the fernery into the open space of the lawn. His countenance pleased her.
