Being the work of Flemings, the reredos is naturally full of that exuberant Flemish detail which may be seen in a Belgian town-hall or in the work of an early Flemish painter; and if the stalls at Santa Cruz are not by this same Master Vlimer, the intertwining branches on the cresting and the sharply carved leaves on the panels show that he had followers or pupils.
The terrace steps were warm under their feet, as they mounted them. In terra-cotta urns, at intervals upon the terrace balustrade, roses grew, roses red and white; and from larger urns, one at either side of the hall-door, red and white roses were espaliered, intertwining overhead.
'Are you at leisure, sir? she said, intertwining her fingers in a careless sort of way among the vines that hung there. 'My dear, I have been at leisure so long that I wish I could say I was busy. But I am not busy. What is it, Miss Hazel? 'Only a few business questions, sir, she said, attending to the vines. 'Will you let me ride with Major Seaton on Thursday?
In this country, so little frequented, the power of vegetation is such at the period of the great rains, that a man on horseback can with difficulty make his way through narrow paths, covered with lianas and intertwining branches.
