Miss Ella Blackburne is a Roman Catholic, and so also is Adelaide's maid; They trot her round to all the observances of her Church regularly, and in the intervals she plays with the kitten. I don't know why she should have been sent here at all, for this is a regular forcing-house for the marriage market. Miss Blackburne expects all her girls to marry well, and they generally do.
'You will find him somewhere near the forcing-house, said Theodora; 'but pray don't hurry in. I am going to my aunt's room, and you should go and look at the Japan lilies, they are fine enough to make even me admire them. Then running after her to enforce her words, 'mind you stay out be quite at rest till dinner-time I have scarcely been with my aunt to-day. I am sure a walk will do you good.
There is a special variety of human nature obtained in the Social Kingdom by a process analogous to that of the gardener's craft in the Vegetable Kingdom, to wit, by the forcing-house a species of hybrid which can be raised neither from seed nor from slips.
Coming out of the forcing-house again, she was on the point of returning indoors, when a feeling that these moments of solitude would be her last of freedom induced her to prolong them a little, and she stood still, unheeding the wintry aspect of the curly-leaved plants, the straw-covered beds, and the bare fruit-trees around her.
The application of this to Ireland is obvious, and it explains why in so many cases a man who has been a rebel in Ireland has afterwards risen to the highest place in the self-governing communities which are called British colonies. To put it in another way, a community of intelligent men must be self-governing, or else it will be a forcing-house for rebels. I don't see any third way.
They are very fine; see, they are as large as those that the gardener sent in yesterday from the forcing-house; and these wild ones have grown without any pains having been bestowed upon them." "I did not think, nurse, that wild strawberries could have been so fine as these; may I taste them?" Mrs. Frazer said she might.
"There are two blunderers coming towards us now," said Magdalen, as the distant figures of Colonel Bellairs and Wentworth appeared in the beech avenue. Both women experienced a distinct sense of relief. Colonel Bellairs had many qualities as a parent which made him a kind of forcing-house for the development of virtue in those of his own family.
I tell you, mademoiselle, this war is one great forcing-house; every living plant is being made to grow too fast, each quality, each passion; hate and love, intolerance and lust and avarice, courage and energy; yes, and self-sacrifice all are being forced and forced beyond their strength, beyond the natural flow of the sap, forced till there has come a great wild luxuriant crop, and then Psum!
Not only did the Schoolmen and the Jesuits sound every space of water, but the Byzantine Greeks in the early days of the Christian Faith produced "heresies" of every imaginable kind. The union of Semitic revelation and neoplatonic mysticism, first at Alexandria and later in the City of the Christian Emperor Constantine, constituted a forcing-house of theological systems.
"Don't you hate this sort of high-pressure talk?" he said, impatiently. "I was just thinking it so brilliant." "Pshaw! conversational fireworks every speaker bent on eclipsing every other speaker. It's an artificial atmosphere, my dear Damon a sort of forcing-house for good things; and I hate forced witticisms, as I hate forced peas. But have you had enough of it?
