Salome, in spite of her thirty-five years, looked almost girlish. She was small and pink and flower-like, with little rings of pale golden hair clustering all over her head in a most unspinster-like fashion, and her eyes were big and blue, and mild as a dove's. Her face was perhaps a weak one, but it was very sweet and appealing.
"To be sure the French," Richard Mivane said in response, repeating the only words which he had heard. "Our nearest white neighbors the dangerous Alabama garrison!" A tumult of questions assailed the little linguister. "Be they mightily troubled at Blue Lick Station?" asked one sympathetically. The little flower-like head was nodded with meaning, deep and serious. "Oh, sure!" she cried.
The colour of the old plastered walls and pergolas was more beautiful here, because more faded, stained green with moss, and splashed with many flower-like tints born of age and weather.
The cup-shaped body is now composed of a large number of limy plates, clothed with flesh; the arms are long, tapering, symmetrical, and richly fringed; the stalk advances higher and higher, until the flower-like animal sometimes waves its feathery arms from the top of a flexible pedestal composed of millions of tiny chalk disks.
That golden dust along the track; the level tops of the buggies drawn up within its ellipse, and the groups scattered about in gypsy gayety on the grass there; the dark blur of men behind the barrier; the women, with their bright hats and parasols, massed flower-like, all made him long to express them in lines and dots and breadths of pure color.
No wonder he had sought escape from his desolation in another marriage his loneliness without the lovely little mother must have been unbearable. What was the new wife like, he wondered? Was she like the lady of the manor he remembered? Could there be another such gentle, tender, flower-like woman on earth?
There are at the same time flower-buds, flowers, green berries, dark purple or ripe ones, and these flower-like sepals, all on the same plant. We love to see any redness in the vegetation of the temperate zone. It is the color of colors. This plant speaks to blood. It asks a bright sun on it to make it show to best advantage, and it must be seen at this season of the year.
Anthony had a start of memory, so vivid that before his closed eyes there formed a picture, distinct as a flashback on a screen a spring night of thaw set out of time in a half-forgotten winter five years before another face, radiant, flower-like, upturned to lights as transforming as the stars
Verse should pave the way with music for the avowal which he had so far failed to force across the barrier between heart and lips. She rose from the hammock and stood beside one of the broad verandah pillars, very straight and slender and flower-like, with the June sun on her hair. Stuart's heart was conscious of a sudden glow.
And while he looked, chilled, disapproving, unsympathetic, at the vivid flower-like bloom of her face, there seemed to flow from her and envelop him the spirit of youth itself of youth adventurous, intrepid, and defiant; of youth rejecting the expedient and demanding the impossible; of youth eternally desirable, enchanting, and elusive.
