Geraldine had it on her tongue's end that Alice would be difficult, for want of anything distinctive, but Felix and Edgar were both jotting something down, and Robina was before-hand with either 'Scarlet pimpernel, tortoiseshell butterfly, budgerigar, marmoset. No one answered, for Felix had pushed a slip of paper over to Alice, on which she read "'Forget-me-not, ladybird, linnet, kitten."
No need of a forget-me-not for Barrows, for he never forgot anything, so I gave his somewhat neglected grave the token of a long stem of little lilies, in evidence that the past was forgiven, and moved on to avoid possible protestation. I paused under the wide-branching elm to recover my breath. The assent had been arduous for a gentleman inclined to portliness and with wind impaired by tobacco.
The lines were in Laura's writing, corrected, here and there, in Guy's hand. Two loving hearts may sever, Yet love shall fail them never. Love brightest beams in sorrow's night, Love is of life the light. Two loving hearts may sever, Yet hope shall fail them never. Hope is a star in sorrow's night, Forget-me-not of light. Two loving hearts may sever, Yet faith may fail them never.
Nothing could be done by the spectators who had gathered on the rocks, except to shout directions that were futile, even if they could be heard. At last the boat was lifted by a breaker and hurled against a mass of granite at the very feet of the man's mistress. When the body was recovered next day, a bunch of forget-me-not was clasped in the rigid hand.
On the present occasion he was attired in a wide-stretching, lace-tipped, black Joinville, with recumbent gills, showing the heavy amplitude of his enormous jaws, while the extreme scooping out of a collarless, flashy-buttoned, chain-daubed, black silk waistcoat, with broad blue stripes, afforded an uninterrupted view of a costly embroidered shirt, the view extending, indeed, up to a portion of his white satin 'forget-me-not' embroidered braces.
Tita has said nothing. But now she puts out her hand. "What is that?" says she. "Why, the letter," says Margaret, forgetting her late discomfiture in the excitement of this new discovery. Tita draws it forth reluctantly. It is tied to a little plant a tiny plant of pale forget-me-not. "What can he have to write about?" says she. "Perhaps it is to say he is not coming to-day; let us hope so.
After tea Mother played games with them any game they liked and of course their first choice was blindman's-buff, in the course of which Bobbie's forget-me-not wreath twisted itself crookedly over one of her ears and stayed there. Then, when it was near bed-time and time to calm down, Mother had a lovely new story to read to them. "You won't sit up late working, will you, Mother?"
In the midst of these repulsing discords Gard was surprised, on returning to his room a night or two later, to find by his table a new red and gold copy of Heine's verse inclosing a sprig of forget-me-not. On the fly leaf was inscribed in a youthful, copybook hand: Immer heller brennt die Licht, Meines schoen' Vergissmeinnicht. Offered to her meadow pupil By his meadow teacher.
The sharp brown stubble of the field merged into the thin grasses of the greener lowland, and she heard the trickling of the little dark brook, where gentians lived in the fall, and where, still earlier, the cardinal flower and forget-me-not crowded in lavish color. She knew every inch of the way; her feet had an intelligence of their own.
And the blues range from the deep blue of the sapphire and the gentian to the light blue of the turquoise and the forget-me-not. In these stones and flowers we get something near the actual colour, but the depth, the clearness, the luminosity, and the vast extent are all wanting, and these are all essential features of the sunset's glories.
