The green is better from this side with the view of the Downs those lines waving against the sky, where the gorse grows and the sheep feed, and inclining to the road all the fields pale green and deep green. But what game are those men playing what game do you call that?" "Bat and trap." "I have passed the green twenty times before, and I never really saw it till now.
Then the pale golden cuckoo-buds, the yellow gorse, the stately foxglove, standing in rows, like prismatic candelabra, all along the roadside, and ah me, alas! the endless trees and vines of wild eglantine, with blossoms of every shade of pink, from carmine to the faintest blush, wreathing themselves about and throwing out into your face and hands long streamers of buds and blossoms, so rarely and exquisitely lovely!
But don't you ride him on it till he wants it. Give him lots of room, and he'll go in the snaffle." All which caution made Phineas think that any insurance office would charge very dear on his life at the present moment. The fox took two rings of the gorse, and then he went, up wind. "It's not a vixen, I'll swear," said Lord Chiltern. "A vixen in cub never went away like that yet.
He strove to make himself agreeable while riding with her along the hillsides, watching the huntsman trying each patch of gorse in the coombes. She seemed to him splendid and charming, and he wondered if he could love her marry her, and never grow weary of her.
On some part of this railway journey we saw gorse and broom importations from England and a gentleman who came into our compartment on a visit tried to tell me which was which; but as he didn't know, he had difficulty.
Yet who would blame him? 'Tis the nature of the gorse to be "unprofitably gay."
Then he glanced anxiously at Lord Shotover to assure himself of the entire absence of simian approximations in the case of his own family. "Oh! ah! yes," he remarked aloud, and somewhat vaguely. "Quite right, Knott. Then of course it was earlier. Record run for that season. Seldom had a better. We found a fox in the Grimshott gorse and ran to Water End without a check."
Arrived at Westbourne-Green then nothing more than a common covered with gorse and furzebushes, and boasting only a couple of cottages and an alehouse he perceived through the hedges the objects of his search slowly ascending the gentle hill that rises from Kensall-Green.
They returned the ladder to the stable, and groped their way to the place where they had entered. Capper had taken Greensheve's position on the cope, and now he leaned down his hand, and, first one and then the other, pulled them up. Cautiously and silently, they dropped again upon the other side; nor did they dare to speak until they had returned to their old ambush in the gorse.
Mademoiselle de Verneuil took one of the little paths made by goats and their keepers leading down from the Promenade, reached the Staircase, then the bottom of the ravine, crossed the Nancon and the suburb, and divining like a bird in the desert her right course among the dangerous precipices of the Mont Saint-Sulpice, she followed a slippery track defined upon the granite, and in spite of the prickly gorse and reeds and loose stones which hindered her, she climbed the steep ascent with an energy greater perhaps than that of a man, the energy momentarily possessed by a woman under the influence of passion.
