"I could not touch this food if I was not very hungry. If I want more soup I suppose I can have some more from the pot where this was taken. What is the matter, woman? What are you staring at me for?" "I think nought at all of you," said the woman, frowning, and drawing back, for Flower's tone was very rude. "But the babe is bonny. Here, take her back, she's like but never mind.
But you are Little Flower's father strange that she should have grown from such a seed and though we fight, for that reason I cannot hate you. Be not disturbed. Perhaps it was the sucking of the wound and the grass tied round her finger which saved her, not my spells and medicine.
It was not so plain to see that there were two women at the post on whom Miss Flower's charms made slight impression Mesdames Blake and Ray two wise young matrons who were known to have few secrets from each other and no intimacies or rather no confidences with any other woman at Fort Frayne Mrs. Dade possibly excepted.
Tipping, seizing the knocker, knocked loud and long, and after a short interval repeated the performance. Somebody was heard stirring upstairs, and a deep voice cried out that it was coming, and peremptorily requested them to cease knocking. "That's not Flower's voice," said Fraser. "Not loud enough," said Miss Tipping.
The moment Flower's influence was removed Polly became once more the ringleader of all the fun. Once more she was appealed to, her advice asked, her directions followed. She could not help admitting to herself that she liked the change, and for the first time a conscious feeling of active dislike to Flower took possession of her.
Each year I wait thy coming, dear, Each year I love thee more, For life grows hard, and much I need Thy honey for my store. So, like a hungry bee, I sip Sweet lessons from thy cup, And sitting at a flower's feet, My soul learns to look up.
At the gate that night he thanked her profusely for the pleasure of her company, and added, boldly: "Won't you go to ride a little ways to-morrow night?" A sudden shyness made her retreat a step, as if in definite withdrawal. It was like a flower's closing. "Maybe not to-morrow," she hesitated. It seemed to her the events she had moved were rushing, of themselves, too fast.
I will give you two minutes, David; if you don't come then I'll keep the threat I made when you made me angry with you at Ballarat." A perfect silence followed Flower's words. She still lay flat on the ground. One of the minutes flew by. "I'll keep my word, David!" she said again. "You know me; you know what my threat means.
She's a powerful woman. She always has her way. There, let me push you out. I wouldn't have her catch sight of me at this moment for fifty pounds." The green baize door was opened a tiny bit, a violent shove was administered to Flower's back, and she found herself in the arms of Mrs. Cameron, and in extreme danger of having her nose bitten off by the infuriated Scorpion.
Not only her character, but her beauty, became another thing under all this largess; one remembered the very Persian rose, in looking at her, and thought of gardens amid whose clouds of rich perfume the nightingales sang all night long; her manner, too, became strangely gracious, and a sweetness lingered after her presence, delicate and fine as the drop of honey in some flower's nectary.
