He had just recently been to Paris, had motored across France, had just returned by sea from Bordeaux in his yacht, the Night Moth. "Landed to-day forgot this unspeakable flower-show had to put in to get her cleaned up for Cowes though it's quite possible I shan't go near Cowes when all's said and done. She's quite seaworthy, warranted not to kick in a gale.
Miller had settled to give a monster entertainment to several hundreds of their fellow-creatures. The proceedings were to include a variety of instructive and amusing pastimes, and were to last pretty nearly all day. There was to be a country flower-show in a big tent on the lawn; that was pure business, and concerned the farmers as much as the gentry.
And at eight, he covered a flower-show in Madison Square Garden; and at eleven was sent over the Brooklyn Bridge in a cab to watch a fire and make guesses at the losses to the insurance companies.
"We had better get out here," he said. Juliet's hand slipped free. Dick threw her a smile and jumped out. "Will the car be all right?" he said, as he turned to help her down. "Oh, right enough," the squire said. "There is no traffic along here." "I am hoping to go into the house," said Vera. "But I suppose it will be crammed with people." "We'll do the flower-show first anyhow," said Fielding.
The first prize at a flower-show was taken by a pale, sickly little girl, who lived in a close, dark court in the east of London. The judges asked how she could grow it in such a dingy and sunless place.
Britling had to go to the house for instructions, and guided by the under-butler found Lady Homartyn hiding away in the walled Dutch garden behind the dairy. She had been giving away the prizes of the flower-show, and she was resting in a deck chair while a spinster relation presided over the tea. Mrs. Britling had fled the outer festival earlier, and was sitting by the tea-things.
Schmucke, wholly absorbed in music, a composer for love of his art, took about as much interest in his friend's little trifles as a fish might take in a flower-show at the Luxembourg, supposing that it had received a ticket of admission. A certain awe which he certainly felt for the marvels was simply a reflection of the respect which Pons showed his treasures when he dusted them.

Some young people are volcanic. Gwen might be." "I saw no sign of an eruption in him no lunacy. He chatted quite reasonably about the division on Thursday, and the crops and the weather.

It was a great advance for her; but then, on the other hand, she had never felt so easy about the result as that old man's talk had now made her. Laura never could do it! So off they set to the flower-show, which was held under a large tent in a field.
At York we wandered to and through a flower-show, and did the cathedral, as people do all the sights they see under the lead of a paid exhibitor, who goes through his lesson like a sleepy old professor. I missed seeing the slab with the inscription miserrimus. There may be other stones bearing this sad superlative, but there is a story connected with this one, which sounds as if it might be true.
