It was evident that Sainte-Enimie had a considerable trade in lavender-water.
"Oh, Pa!" said she, "isn't he isn't he a nice young man?" "I'm HANGED if he ain't," says Tug. "What do you think of his giving me eighteenpence yesterday, and a bottle of lavender-water for Mimarann?" "He might as well offer to give you back the shop at any rate," says Jemmy. "What! to pay Tuggeridge's damages? My dear, I'd sooner die than give Tuggeridge the chance."
But is not cyder an important thing to everybody? They had neither tea nor coffee then, and man likes to drink. We may know, too, that in those days every good woman made a few bottles of currant wine, made also her rose cakes to sweeten her drawers, gathered and dried lavender to make lavender-water, also sage and hoarhound, "good for sickness."
"In the bath," and Winifred gave a little bitter laugh. "The only thing he's brought back is lavender-water." "Steady!" said Soames, "you're thoroughly upset. I'll go back with you." "What's the use?" "We ought to make terms with him." "Terms! It'll always be the same. When he recovers cards and betting, drink and...!" She was silent, remembering the look on her husband's face.
'Who shall say Mr. Spraggon's not a gentleman? said he, as he perfumed one of his lordship's fine coronetted cambric handkerchiefs with lavender-water.

Well, blood is thicker than water, and in a few years they were pretty good friends again, though they saw but little of one another, meeting only in Hillsborough, which Guy hated, and never drove into now without what he called his antidotes: a Bible and a bottle of lavender-water.
A faint reek of cigars and lavender-water not smelt since that early autumn night six months ago, when she had called him 'the limit. Whence came it, or was it ghost of scent sheer emanation from memory? She looked round her. Nothing not a thing, no tiniest disturbance of her hall, nor of the diningroom.
