"Don't tell any one!" he added, and then immediately realized that at the same time he must be losing a little of that valuable discretion which had characterized the head of Walkingshaw & Gilliflower. "My dear Heriot, this sounds suspicious." He realized now the penalties for indiscretion. "I am going to see him on particularly private business. We do not wish it to get talked about."
"Sir," cried he, "only look through this hole, and you will see the original of the portrait which so fascinated you." The prince looked, and recognised at once his beloved princess. He would have died with joy, had he not believed himself deceived by some enchantment. He knocked at the door, Gilliflower opened it; he entered, and threw himself at the feet of Désirée.
When it was the morrow I opened the second door; and entering found myself in a spacious plain set with tall date palms and watered by a running stream whose banks were shrubbed with bushes of rose and jasmine, while privet and eglantine, oxe-eye, violet and lily, narcissus, origane and the winter gilliflower carpeted the borders; and the breath of the breeze swept over these sweet smelling growths diffusing their delicious odours right and left, perfuming the world and filling my soul with delight.
The Fairy Tulip, who loved Désirée, was very sorry for her, although somewhat offended that the queen had not taken her advice, and detained the princess safe in her tower till she was fifteen; however, she would not leave her a prey to the malice of the Fairy of the Fountain, so contrived invisibly to conduct the faithful Gilliflower to the place where the poor forlorn hind reposed.
The boys enjoyed the joke, and one after the other read out his message to the captive lady: "Dear Jill, Sorry you ain't here. Great fun. Jack pretty lively. Laura and Lot would send love if they knew of the chance. Fly round and get well. "Gus" "Dear Gilliflower, Hope you are pretty comfortable in your 'dungeon cell. Would you like a serenade when the moon comes?
There also blossomed the violet as it were sulphur on fire by night; the orange with buds like pink coral and marguerite; the rose whose redness gars the loveliest cheeks blush with despight; and myrtle and gilliflower and lavender with the blood-red anemone from Nu'uman hight.
Gilliflower has behaved excellently," she said to her son, soon after his return; "and has quite understood my position here. I only wish we could keep him in the parish; but that, of course, is impossible." "I shouldn't want him at all, mother," Arthur had replied. "I am as strong as a horse now." "All the same; I should like to have him here," said Mrs.
Her tears melted the heart of the Fairy Tulip, who had watched her invisibly all the time, and now made herself known appearing suddenly in a shady alley of the wood. Gilliflower and the white hind threw themselves at her feet the latter licking her hands, and caressing her as prettily as a deer could the former imploring her to take pity on the princess, and restore her to her natural shape.
When it appeared it possessed all the practical characteristics of its parent. "In that case," he retorted, "you had better clear out of my house as quick as you can." Heriot regarded him with extreme composure. "Do you actually imagine you are going to get off as easy as this?" he inquired, "Man Andrew, I haven't been senior partner in Walkingshaw & Gilliflower for nothing.
To distinguish it from the others we have the gilliflower and the ground-ivy to which he has given his name, and more especially the St. John's wort, which if gathered on the eve of his festival and placed in a room, destroys malignant spells and charms, is a protection against thunder, and hinders the walking of ghosts.
