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.

"But, Heseltine, wasn't this man Benham the fellow Medland had a sort of shindy with at that flower-show?" "Yes, he was. Kilshaw seemed to know all about him." "He was talking to Miss Medland." "And the Premier had her away from him in no time. Queer start, Sir John?" "Oh, well, he seems to have been a loose fellow, and I suppose was murdered for the money he had on him.
Farther away to the right were the striped canvas tents of the flower-show, still farther off the roundabouts churned out their music, the shooting galleries popped, and the swing boats creaked through the air. Cut off from these things by a line of fencing lay the open park in which the deer grouped themselves under the great trees and regarded the festival mistrustfully.
Then, all were anxious to do honour to Hester and Margaret, or to show off in their eyes: now, the efforts made were, on the one hand, to mortify, and on the other, to sustain them. The Rowlands had a carriage party to the woods one week, and the Greys a cavalcade to the flower-show at Blickley the next.
I would much rather cry myself, and I begged Sandy to leave off, for I said I was quite determined to try and think of something. It certainly was remarkable that the very next day should be the day when we heard about the flower-show.
There is no objection to the match in any way, unless it lies in that disreputable brother, who seems to have entirely disappeared. Now, Evelyn, mark my words. You invited her here at my wish, after I saw her with that dreadful Alwynn woman at the flower-show. You will never regret it. I am seventy-five years of age, and I have seen something of men and women. Those two will suit."
And later on, when some ladies came to lunch with first-floor on the day of the flower-show, did not ground-floor go out and place his sitting-room completely at his fellow-lodger's disposal, so that the company might find greater convenience and change of air after meat?
I suppose a few minutes more or less will make no difference in your enjoyment of the flower-show." "None whatever, papa, dear." "Humph! Salome, now that I look at you well, I do not believe you care a penny for the flower-show. Come, tell me the truth, girl. Do you care one penny to go to the flower-show?" he inquired, looking keenly into her pensive face.
"How very peculiar you are!" exclaimed Daisy, with a look of compassionate amazement. "Most people notice what I wear. Oh, and I've got a charming dress for the flower-show at Government House." "You're invited, are you?" asked Norburn, with an ill-judged exhibition of surprise. "Of course I'm invited." "I'm sorry to hear it." "Why, pray, Mr. Norburn? Are you going?" "Yes. I suppose I must."
