She turned; he had a handful of small, long-stemmed flowers of an exquisite blue. "How beautiful!" she exclaimed, moved by surprise. "What are they?" "Desert flowers." "Such a blue." "You expressed a regret this morning " "Oh, you heard " "I overheard " "What are they called?" "I haven't an idea. But once in the Sioux country " They were at the car-step. "Marie?
So engrossed in his thoughts had he been that he had been inattentive to the rhythm of old Khazib, the tale teller's voice, as he held forth, from the divan, beside his long-stemmed pipe, to his nightly audience, of men and boys, camel drivers, small merchants, desert men from the long caravans who were the frequenters of this café.
Yonder was a grand piano, a silver chased vase upon a wall bracket over it holding three long-stemmed, red roses; a heavy, massive-topped table strewn comfortably and invitingly with books and magazines; an exquisite rug and one painting upon the far wall, an original seascape suggestive of Waugh at his best; excellent leather-upholstered chairs luxuriously inviting, and at once homelike and rich.
Seated on the bank near her, his roving eyes full of bold curiosity bent on her from time to time, his idle fingers plaiting a little wreath out of long-stemmed clover and boutons d’or, he appeared merely an intrusive, irresponsible young fellow willing to amuse himself with a few moments’ rustic courtship here before he continued on his way. "You are exceedingly pretty," he said.
We had placed beside her great bunches of flowers destined to fill our vases, late iris and long-stemmed lotus, the last of the season, already smelling of autumn.

"A Belgian woman a refugee spoke in broken English. The things she told. It was horrible. I wonder if they could be true?" "Atrocities?" Carr questioned. Sophie nodded. "That's propaganda," her father declared judicially.
We know the egg-cluster of the Hemerobius, the object of so many mistakes to the untrained observer. The little Lace-winged Fly with the gold eggs sets up on a leaf a group of long, tiny columns as fine as a spider's thread, each bearing an egg as a capital. The whole resembles pretty closely a tuft of some long-stemmed mildew.
"I am crazy to see them." "I'll open them if it pleases you, Mollie," Harriet returned gently. The great box was crowded with long-stemmed American beauties and violets. "Have some posies, girls?" Harriet said generously, holding out her arms filled with flowers.
