The following morning I was sitting under the Noah's-ark trees, watching the people pass and repass, when a man in a suit of white flannel, carrying a light cane, and wearing a straw hat with a red band, and a necktie to match, stopped a flower-girl immediately in front of me, and affixed an additional dot of blood-color to his buttonhole.
She knew a man outside the city walls a leader of an organization half soldiery, half bandits who thirsted for the chance to pay off countless scores against officers and private citizens inside. After a vain effort to win back her lover, the flower-girl communicated with the captain of the rebel band, who had only been deterred from entering the city by a high wall twenty feet thick.
For Monte-Cristo's daughter his feeling was love, for the fascinating flower-girl of the Piazza del Popolo it was a passion to be sated. After a few more words to his sister, the peasant returned to the young men, aiding Espérance to transport Giovanni into the cabin. The interior of this humble abode was as neat and picturesque as the exterior.
Walton listened to her, and then he said, "You are very right and prudent, Mrs. Newton, but never mind that; I have not forgotten my little flower-girl, and her race after me that hot morning; if you were dead, I would take care of her; and if we both were dead, Mrs. Walton would take care of her; and if Mrs. Walton were dead, God would take care of her.
Thomas-Soyer exhibited "An Irish Setter and a Laverock," and in 1903 "Under the White Squall." <b>THORNYCROFT, MARY.</b> Born 1814; died 1895. Daughter of John Francis, the sculptor, whose pupil she was. This artist exhibited at the Royal Academy when very young. Her first important work was a life-size figure called "The Flower-Girl."
I wanted somebody to keep me from myself. Mrs. Stokes dying! her husband dead! the sweet flower-girl pining for want and I the cause of all! The whole view presented such a complication of misery to my mind, and of guilt to my heart, as made me unsupportable to myself. "'It was Saturday! I was of course engaged to the opera. I was utterly unfit to go, but wanted courage to frame an excuse.
She was glad that Bess Harley was too sleepy to probe any deeper into the matter. Nan did not forget Inez, the flower-girl, nor the fact that the runaways Sallie Morton and Celia Snubbins might still be traced through Mother Beasley's cheap lodging house. Both Walter and Grace Mason had been interested, as well as amused, in the chum's account of their first adventure in Chicago.
They smell sweet as the breath of heaven itself." Dong-Yung smiled as the flower-girl stuck one of the fragrant, fragile, green-striped orchids in her hair, and hung two others, caught on delicate loops of wire, on the jade studs of her jacket, buttoned on the right shoulder. "Ah, you are beautiful-come-death!" said the flower-girl. "Great happiness be thine!"
His spider-ship had doubtless seen me when he entered the walk, I was still an untrapped fly, and had picked out this particular flower-girl beside me as a safe anchorage for one end of his web. I turned away my head; but it was too late. "Monsieur did not play last night?" the croupier asked deferentially. "No; I did not know the game." Then an idea struck me. "Sit down; I want to talk to you."
Annunziata did not go near him, though whether coquetry or fear caused her to pursue this course Espérance was unable to determine, but her action gratified him because it gave Giovanni no opportunity to follow up whatever advantage he might have gained with the flower-girl. Lorenzo appeared to have no suspicion whatever that anything was amiss either with the young men or his sister.
