She received the physician at the front entrance, with all the graceful courtesy of a refined lady, ushered him into the library, then putting on a garden-hat, wandered out into the grounds.
Such is the wild idea that flutters through her mind. She has never seen him since the fatal night, except when she was questioned before the Mayor, and then he was present in gloomy watchfulness, as representing his lost nephew and burning to avenge him. She hangs her garden-hat on her arm, and goes out.
The ladies now began to think about bouquets, and knew where they could find them. From this same blessed nook the Governor's table was daily supplied with its most beautiful ornament. Men tenderly disposed smiled on the young face that from under the broad-brimmed garden-hat smiled back on them. Some deemed her fairer than the flowers she cared for.
Passing along this deep shade, and out at that arch of light at the other end, we come upon the ferry and the cottage by the best approach, I think. In her simple garden-hat and her light summer dress, with her rich brown hair naturally clustering about her, and her wonderful eyes raised to his for a moment with a look in which regard for him and trustfulness in him were strikingly blended with a kind of timid sorrow for him, she was so beautiful that it was well for his peace or ill for his peace, he did not quite know which that he had made that vigorous resolution he had so often thought about.
She had evidently been out walking before I arrived, for she still wore her coquette garden-hat the chipstraw affair, with the lilac ribbons tied in a bow under her rounded chin; and a white, thin gown, most ravishing, and all bestrewn with sprigs and posies, which displayed her smooth and delicately moulded throat above the low-pinned kerchief, and her lovely arms from the creamy elbow lace down to her finger tips.
She led the way into the library and sat down in a low chair, throwing off her garden-hat, and beginning to arrange the wild flowers which she held in her hands around the crown.

Tom's ignorance of color was a never-failing source of amusement to her.
Lightowler opened his drooping eyelids: 'There's some one in my garden, he said. 'I must go out and put a stop to that some of those urchins out of the village they're always at it!

But I am going immediately," said Laetitia, seeing Sir Willoughby hovering to snap up his bride. "Yes; and a garden-hat and I am on the march." "I will wait for you on the terrace." "You will not have to wait." "Five minutes at the most," Sir Willoughby said to Laetitia, and she passed out, leaving them alone together.
'Why should they sit together under the cedar tree like that unless they are making love? She stepped out on to the lawn with a garden-hat placed above her cap and a sun-umbrella held over her head. 'Aunt Mary, said Jane, 'Toffy's got a new motor! Isn't it fearfully exciting!
Firm in her wish, sure of doing the right thing, she had no impatient fever of expectation. When it was four o'clock she spoke of going to see the mere Gabet, and went out, dressed as for an ordinary walk, wearing her little garden-hat tied carelessly under her chin.
