"Will you send this in your letter to Helena Delacour, and tell her that is the thing that gold fishes are so fond of? And tell her that it is called lemna, and that it may be found in any ditch or pool." "But how can she find ditches and pools in Grosvenor-square, my dear?" "Oh, I forgot that. Then will you tell her, mamma, that I will send her a great quantity?" "How, my dear?"
"Yes. On any conditions, mamma, I should like to stay with you." "Agreed, then, my dear!" said Lady Delacour. "Now let us go to the gold fishes, and see them eat lemna, or whatever you please to call it." While they were looking at the gold fishes, the old man, who had been desired by Miss Portman to call, arrived. "Who is this fine, gray-haired old man?" said Lady Delacour.
I turn down by the river; in the ditch at the foot of the ha-ha wall is plenty of duckweed, the Lemna of the tank. A little distance away, and almost on the shore, as it seems, of the Thames, is a really noble horse-chestnut, whose boughs, untouched by cattle, come sweeping down to the ground, and then, continuing, seem to lie on and extend themselves along it, yards beyond their contact.
And by what name impossible to pronounce must I call these green leaves, to please botanic ears?" said Lady Delacour. "This," replied Belinda, "is what 'Th'unlearned, duckweed learned, lemna, call; and it is to be found in any ditch or standing pool."
