And what a mountain of empty wicker bottles had to be cleared away from the little square yard with the solitary lemon-tree at the back of the house!" "Come, Müller no fond memories!" cried a student in a holland blouse. "Get on with the story." "Ay, get on with the story!" echoed several voices. To which Müller, who took advantage of the interruption to finish his grog au vin, deigned no reply.
I went readily to do her bidding, and fetching a ladder with rungs about two feet six apart, placed it against a lemon-tree at the back of the house, and climbed up. Holding a number of lemons in my skirt, I was making a most ungraceful descent, when I heard an unknown footstep approaching towards my back. People came to Caddagat at all hours of the day, so I was not in the least disconcerted.
And the man cried out to the lemon-tree, "Could you protect me, if I were to hide among your leaves and flowers?" Instantly the lemon-tree answered, "Come right up, if you want to." Then the man climbed the tree, and concealed himself in the branches, among the flowers. Very soon the Buso came under the lemon-tree, and shouted to it, "I smell a man here. You are hiding him."
Although Naomi isn't so bad looking " "Your sister couldn't be." "Aw, quit kidding! But she isn't bad-looking, really. Lord knows she deserves a better husband than she drew. Honestly, when the divine providence was handing out shrubbery, they planted a lemon-tree in his yard just before he was born." "Probably your sister doesn't agree with your opinion." "Oh, yes, she does!
He was but just recovered from an illness, or he had gone also in chains to die for he knew not what, leaving behind without hope all that he loved: "How has the cloud fallen, and the leaf withered on the tree, The lemon-tree, that standeth by the door. The melon and the date have gone bitter to the taste, The weevil, it has eaten at the core The core of my heart, the mildew findeth it.
European visitors have dined under the shade of a lemon-tree as large as one of our strongest oaks, and have seen sycamores, the foliage of which was sufficient to cover thirty persons along with their horses and camels. On the eastern side, however, the scanty coating of mould yields a less magnificent crop.
"Since you care personally what becomes of me, you have given me a double incentive," he answered eagerly, as they passed out. As they disappeared, Lottie Marsden stepped out from behind a large lemon-tree, with an expression upon her face quite as acid as the unripe fruit that had helped to conceal her. How she came to witness the scene described requires some explanation.
The blinds of the windows looking south, were partly open; the branches of the lemon-tree, and the tendrils of the white-jessamine, assisted in shading the apartment, making it fragrant too.
Motionless beside his companion, and half hidden by a lofty vase containing a lemon-tree, it was only from a distance that he was able to see the white old man, looking so frail and slender in the wavy folds of his white cassock, and walking so very slowly with short, gliding steps.
"Ah, sire, you have indeed contrived a cunning sermon against hasty judgment, for, while the tree is a lemon-tree, the thing that floats beneath it is an orange." "So you, Marquess, judge it to be an orange. And what do you make of it, Count of Poictesme?" the King asks now. If di Paz took few chances, Manuel took none at all. He waded into the pool, and fetched out the thing which floated there.
