So we took our beer out in the fernery and got a cool place at a little table in a quiet corner amongst the fern boxes. "Well, One-eyed Bogan was a hard case, Mitchell," I said. "Wasn't he?" "Yes," said Mitchell, putting down his "long-beer" glass, "he was." "Rather a bad egg?" "Yes, a regular bad egg," said Mitchell, decidedly. "I heard he got caught cheating at cards," I said.
She heard herself say, "Perhaps I had better see the servants myself. It would be a queer thing if there were a draft from the pantry. There is a red pillow in the fernery; it must be hidden the spears, too " She gazed in perplexity at Hamoud, who appeared to be floating before her at the end of a dark tunnel. "For how long?" he sighed. "For how long?" she repeated plaintively.
A beautifully illustrated magazine of horticulture was laid before her, and somewhat relieved her, whilst the elder ladies talked about their fernery, in scientific terms, that sounded like an unknown tongue. Perceiving that a book was wanted, she sprang up, begging to be told where to find it; but the answer made her fear she had been officious. 'No, my dear, thank you, do not trouble yourself.
From this little opening one road turned to the wild-berry field, where lived the cuckoo and the warblers; another opened an inviting way into the deep woods; a third went through the fernery.
Along the foot trail which led down the side of the big canon to the intake of the water-pipe, they established their fernery. It was not a formal affair, and the ferns were left to themselves.

I saw her coming over the grass with outstretched hands, and such a smile on her dear face; and though I was so shy that I could scarcely greet her, I could feel by the way she kissed me how glad how very glad she was.

Lady Glenalvon suggests turning that hideous old moat into a fernery, a great improvement. Of course your poor father makes objections." Tom's letter was written on black-edged paper, and ran thus:
It was in a fernery where a playing fountain added its tuneful drop to the noisy deluge that the voices of the drawing-room sounded suddenly at my elbow, and I was introduced to Miss Belsize before I could recover from my surprise.
Flagg, I am delighted on behalf of the fairies to express thanks for the glowing tribute to their Queen which you have so beautifully voiced. Let us now walk through to the end of the fernery and return. As we pass along I will point out my favorite plants."
