"I should like to go with the others, though I don't suppose it would cheer anyone to see me, I'm not light enough!" "Don't be too sure," said the beetle solidly. "You've a nice velvety softness about you, and then you have the best name of them all. What sick person wouldn't like to have Heartsease?" "I think I've got enough now," said Bethea, as she laid the last primula in her basket.
Carnaby followed dutifully, and Heartsease began to pick up his feet, which he scorned to do upon the negligence of sward. And following this good lane, they came to a gate, corded to an ancient tree, and showing up its foot, as a dog does when he has a thorn in it.
Who would guard her from other eyes, that as her beauty and charm came to their full bloom might look covetously upon her? What if in his absence another's hand should be stretched to pluck his heartsease blossom that left unguarded, unprotected by him, another should snatch it, in its beauty, its purity and innocence, to his bosom? The thought was hell!
But no, it was a reality, for the gates straightway opened, and six beautiful fairies appeared, who, making her a profound reverence, presented her with six flowers composed of jewels: a rose, a tulip, an anemone, a jasmine, a carnation, and a heartsease. "Madam," said they, "we could not give you a greater mark of our favour than in permitting you to come here.
They had a front and a back room, so that the beauties of the dawn and the noontide of sunset and moonrise were all theirs. And the Wolf came not near the door, and the three whose natures were like to the natures of the oak, the vine and the heartsease, and who lived for each other only, dreamed again the dream of the wonderful valley the Valley of the Many-Colored Grass.
If I went into the gardens, clinking the wicket latch loudly after me, to pull the marigolds, heartsease, and lady's-slippers, and draw a drink with the water-sodden well-bucket and its noisy chain; or, knocking off with my stick the tall, heavy-headed dahlias and sunflowers, hunting among the beds for cucumbers and love-apples no one called out to me from any opened window; no dog sprang forward to bark an alarm.
"You arrived just in time for our show!" exclaimed Grace gleefully to Eleanor. The two girls sat opposite each other at the library table in the living room at Wayne Hall, making up the programme for the vaudeville performance which was to be held in Music Hall, on the following Friday evening. "Oh, Eleanor, don't you think you can go home with me for Easter? Never mind if 'Heartsease' is closed.
See how different the leaves of the cabbage are, and how extremely alike the flowers; how unlike the flowers of the heartsease are, and how alike the leaves; how much the fruit of the different kinds of gooseberries differ in size, colour, shape, and hairiness, and yet the flowers present very slight differences.
Many of our orchidaceous plants absolutely require the visits of moths to remove their pollen-masses and thus to fertilise them. Hence I have very little doubt, that if the whole genus of humble-bees became extinct or very rare in England, the heartsease and red clover would become very rare, or wholly disappear.
He said: “This is like a Persian garden. The air is very pure.” On leaving for London he presented every one with a purple heartsease from the garden, and said again and again: “Good-bye” in English.
