She had counted the days off on her little calendar; she saw, in the bright loveliness with which the springtime had dressed the city, only a proud vision of what her beloved Kettle must be like; she hunted violets on the slopes of Highacres and dreamed of the blossoming hepaticas in the Witches' Glade and the dear sun-shadowed corners where the bloodroot grew and the soft budding beauty of the birches that lined the trail up Kettle.
With her hand on her beating heart the woman panted out her words: "She has come downstairs in a wrapper. She hasn't been down for weeks. And she has found your hepaticas." "Oh, hell!" Withrow was honestly disgusted. He had never meant to insult Kathleen Somers with hepaticas. "Is it safe to leave her alone with them?" He hardly knew what he was saying.
"We'll take some from here and some from Grandfather's woods," decided Ethel Brown. "There are a few in the West Woods, too." So they dug up but a comparatively small number of the hepaticas, nor did they take many of the columbines nodding from a cleft in the piled-up rocks.
In the woods at Oaklands, whither father went once or twice a week to have an eye upon his improvements and preparations for the summer, spring-beauties, hepaticas, and anemones, and even a few early violets, were showing their lovely faces; and all young things ah, and the older ones too were rejoicing that the "winter was past and gone."
And hepaticas, red, blue, and white." "What are hepaticas like?" I asked. "Let me show you," said Mr. Andrewes, crossing the garden. "Look here! there are the pretty little things. I have seen them growing wild in Canada single ones, that is. The leaves are of a dull green, and when they fade, the whole plant is hardly to be distinguished from Mother Earth at least, not by a gardener's eye.
In the new life, as in the old, summer followed quickly on the heels of spring, and when the hepaticas and the violets were gone, and the laurel and the rhododendron were decking the cliffs of Lebanon in their summer robes of pink and white and magenta, another door was opened for Thomas Jefferson. Vaguely it had been understood in the Gordon household that Mr.
I am afraid it was unconscious pride which prevented my thinking of it. "But the day came. It was in the early spring. I had been to the grave-yard to set out some fresh hepaticas on papa's grave. His grave and mamma's were in an inclosure surrounded by a high, thick hedge of pines and cedars close to the public street As I knelt down, hidden behind the trees, I heard steps and voices.
"How long have you been cheating me?" she asked coldly. But she held out her hand before she went upstairs with the nurse's arm still round her. Later he caught at Miss Willis excitedly. "Is she better? Is she worse? Is she well? Or is she going to die?" "She's shaken. She must rest. But she's got the hepaticas in water beside her bed.
She means to give us time to inhale the fragrance of some of the hepaticas, and to learn that other hepaticas of the same species have no fragrance at all; that there is a variety of delicate colors, white, pink, purple, lavender, and blue; that the colored parts, which look like petals are really sepals; that they usually number six, but may be as many as twelve; that there are three small sessile leaves forming an involucre directly under the flower; that if we search we shall find some with four, more rare than four-leaved clovers; that the plant which was fragrant last year will also be fragrant this year; that the furry stems are slightly pungent, enough to give spice to a sandwich; these preliminary observations fit us for more intricate problems later on.
Spring had not been niggardly with her flower wealth, and gracious, smiling May trailed her pink-and-white skirts over carpets of living green, starred with hepaticas and spring beauties, while, from under clusters of green-brown leaves, the trailing arbutus lifted its shy, delicate face to peep out, the loveliest messenger of spring.
