There was not much there to tell of the springtime, for the pines are unsympathetic, but it seemed as if all the more wealth had been flung about on the carpeting beneath. Where the moss was not were flowing beds of fern, and the ground was dotted with slender harebells and the dusty, half-blossomed corydalis, while from all the rocks the bright red lanterns of the columbine were dangling.
The walk to and from the Creamery was most delightful, especially those May days when there were such drifts of flowers and the wood was full of bluebells, and little white and blue wild anemones and harebells and sweet woodruff. Nothing could well be more fragrant than the wood in those days of early summer.
Oh!" she cried, over and over again, striding forward and back across some yards of pasture, trampling lilies and harebells under her heedless feet, turning her flaming face at intervals toward the spot in the smiling landscape that had last held the figure of Philip Haig. The shame of it! She had never never never been treated so outrageously. It was unendurable and she had endured it!
These harebells they have flowered a little earlier than in their wild state how many scenes they recall to memory! We found them on the tops of the glorious Downs when the wheat was ripe in the plains and the earth beneath seemed all golden. Some, too, concealed themselves on the pastures behind those bunches of tough grass the cattle left untouched.
The columbines, harebells, and fringed gentians would have been just as cosy and secluded places to live in as the Irish foxgloves, which are simply running over with fairies.
Blue's overdone here too, blue sky, blue mists, blue shadows, blue lakes, blue flowers, anemones, harebells, columbines and the rest. It's a relief to get into the reds of the San Luis " "Where Sunnysides came from!" interrupted Marion, eager despite her misery. "Yes." "Tell me about him, please!"
"...And I galloped and I galloped on my steed as white as milk, My gown was of the grass-green and my shoes were of the silk, My hair was golden-yellow, and it floated to my shoe, My eyes were like two harebells dipped in little drops of dew..." Joy leaned herself back more luxuriously. "It is like the enchanted forest," she breathed.
The women brought their work and their needles with them, and when they had told their stories, the children ran about the hill making bunches of wild flowers including harebells and wild thyme. They ran after the butterflies and the bumbees, and made acquaintance in a small way with the beauties of nature. Then the servants opened their baskets of provisions, and we had a delightful picnic.
They just lie and rot by the roadside. The boys always say that a toad-stool is the old Squire's 'mark' on a log." "And that stout, clumsy one is Short Dennett. What are you doing, Stephen!" "Only building a fence round this clump of harebells," Stephen replied.
"I know ever so many of the flowers are supposed to belong to the fairies in various parts of the country. Foxgloves are really 'the good folks' gloves, and they're called fairies' petticoats in Cheshire, and fairies' hats in Ireland. Wild flax is always fairy flax, and harebells are fairy bells."
