The sea, the mountain-ridge, Niagara, and every flower-bed, pre-exist, or super-exist, in pre-cantations, which sail like odors in the air, and when any man goes by with an ear sufficiently fine, he overhears them and endeavors to write down the notes without diluting or depraving them.
"It was when I came upon the footprints in the rose-bed which had done so much to prove the guilt of Sir David Southern in the eyes of his accusers, that I began to be certain of his innocence; and a very little examination convinced me absolutely that whoever had shot Lord Ashiel it was not his youngest nephew. For the tracks on the flower-bed left no room for doubt.
"You find life pleasant?" "You do, I hope?" she answered, as they paced on. "Not unpleasant, at all events. I am no longer slaving under the iron gods. I like my work, and it promises to reward me." Eve made a remark about a flower-bed. Then her voice subdued again. "How do you look back on your great venture your attempt to make the most that could be made of a year in your life?"
There are some of every sort, rich and poor, envious and envied, philosophers and dreamers, all grouped like the plants in a flower-bed round the rare, choice blossom, the bride. A wedding-ball is an epitome of the world.
The first human creature he had seen outside his cell since he became an inmate of this prison appeared before his eyes, the young girl skipping through the garden till she came to the flower-bed and plucked the scarlet blossom. If she had been a spirit or an angel, he could hardly have beheld her with greater surprise. She was singing when she came.
His voice was so hoarse, so strange, that they all turned and looked. "On the Nile," repeated Mortimer. "All over Egypt. Why?" Ainsley made no answer. Unclasping his hold, he suddenly slid down the face of the rock, and with a bump lit on his hands and knees. With one bound he had cleared a flower-bed.
"Well then, carry your strange flower-bed on board," said the old man laughing. "Now, are you satisfied Joanna?" Once more he embraced her and Pulcheria and, as a tear from his wife's eyes dropped on his hand, he whispered in her ear: "You have been the rose of my life; and without you Eden Paradise itself can have no joys."
Of course the power which works on a believing soul is always tending to produce goodness and only goodness. But its operation is not such that we are always equally, uniformly, perfectly under its influence. Power in germ is one thing, in actual operation another. There may be but a little ragged patch of green in the garden, and yet it may be on its way to become a flower-bed.
A range of lofty hills, which I guessed to be the Mendips, bordered the whole skyline, and further north there lay a second chain in the blue distance. The glittering Avon wound its way over the country-side like a silver snake in a flower-bed.
Bellew had passed so close that the skirt of her seagreen dress brushed their feet with a swish, and a scent as of a flower-bed was wafted from it. Mrs. Pendyce wrinkled her nose. "Much nicer. Her figure's so delicious," she said. Lady Maiden pondered. "She's a dangerous woman. James quite agrees with me." Mrs. Pendyce raised her eyebrows; there was a touch of scorn in that gentle gesture.
