Each worked at a half of the bag. jane's half had four-leaved shamrocks embroidered on it. And even so, Anthea had to draw the pattern for her. Anthea's side of the bag had letters on it worked hastily but affectionately in chain stitch. They were something like this: PSAMS TRAVEL CAR She would have put 'travelling carriage', but she made the letters too big, so there was no room.
A little way off the crocodile lay blinking in the sun, with his sharp teeth and whity-yellow jaws wide open. At a signal from the princess the prince poured the water in the hole, and the moment it reached the brim the princess flung in the four-leaved plant. Would the charm work, or would the water trickle away slowly through the sand, and the prince fall a victim to that horrible monster?
Sir Gilbert Scott considered them late Decorated work, but they have rather the appearance of late Perpendicular. Over each seat is an ogee canopy, cinquefoil, crocketed, and surmounted by a huge finial. These canopies rest on square pillars, the sides of which are adorned with a sort of 'four-leaved flowers, while the capitals are encircled with foliage in which are animals and monsters.
"Indeed? You seem bent on proving that the four-leaved clover was a true prophet of marriage. You want to make the match?" "Why not? But, indeed, I am speaking in good faith. Why don't you marry Aunt Diodora?" "Because I have more sense than those poor birds who shatter their heads and beaks in flying against the reflected rays of the lighthouse." "I don't understand the simile."
On the next band are large curly leaves still Gothic in style and much undercut; and in the last, four-leaved flowers set some distance one from the other. At the top, the drip-mould grows into a large trefoil with crockets outside and an armillary sphere within.
I would clear up the horrible muddle. I would make them happy: and in doing that, I know that I should make them good. But I have sought the four-leaved shamrock for a long time, and never have found it; and so I am growing subdued to the conviction that I never shall. Let us go back to the matter of Resignation, and think a little longer about that.
In Newbury, April 20,1768, "Young ladies met at the house of the Rev. Mr. Parsons, who preached to them a sermon from Proverbs 31-19. They spun and presented to Mrs. Parsons two hundred and seventy skeins of good yarn." They drank "liberty tea." This makeshift of a beverage was made of the four-leaved loosestrife.
"We want to find a four-leaved clover and a beetle with one eye," said one of them; "for if we can find them, we shall be able to get into the Great Panjandrum's place, and there we can learn whether there is a bag of gold at the end of the rainbow or not."
It will be noticed as a peculiar feature that a little piece of the outer moulding, facing the nave, of the first large arch on the south side is differently carved from all the rest: first, counting from the bottom upwards, are three eight-leaved flowers these are succeeded by three four-leaved flowers, all on a chamfered edge; above this the moulding is not chamfered, and the outer face is decorated with shallow zig-zag carving.
The crocodile called it a "chance"; but he might as well have dragged me into the river at once. He said truly that I cannot escape him. 'Oh, if that is all, cried the princess, 'I can set you free myself, for my fairy godmother taught me to know the use of plants and in the desert not far from here there grows a little four-leaved herb which will keep the water in the pit for a whole year.
