Jack, who was still white, said: "It is my turn now, and which shall it be?" "Shade of Fox!" cried Friend Forest. "The war is over. Come, boys, I must see you well out of this." And so reassuring us, he went down Fourth street, and to my home. My father was in the sitting-room, taking his long-stemmed reed pipe at his ease. He rose as we followed Friend Forest into the room.
"I may have accused you wrongly," she said, the necessity of the case driving her again to speech, "but I we all" she plucked a feathery spray of the long-stemmed water-grass and examined it minutely "everybody thought you so good and kind and I learned something accidentally that disappointed me." She glanced up with a mute appeal; but his looks were uncompromising. "Well?" he asked quietly.
“Poor old McFarlane,” said Melicent, “I’ll pay a little tribute to his memory; I dare say his spirit has listened to nothing but abuse of himself there in the other world, since it left his body here on the hill;” and she took one of the long-stemmed blood-red flowers and laid it beside the toppling cross. “I reckon he’s in a place w’ere flowers don’t git much waterin’, if they got any there.”
He wandered into the lounge to find Elizabeth surrounded by a little group of journalists. She nodded to him pleasantly and waved a great bunch of long-stemmed pink roses which one of them had brought to her. Her greeting saved him from despair. She, at least, was unchanged. "See how my friends are beginning to spoil me!" she cried out.
"How much are they, and how large are the bunches?" "Prices differ, and they are the right size to appear well. They had better see for themselves." The maid reached for the basket, but the Harvester drew back. "I keep them in my possession," he said. "You may take a sample." He lifted the leaves and drew forth a medium-sized bunch of long-stemmed blue violets with their leaves.
"One boy is as good as a dozen girls, though, ma'am," retorted Alan. "Do you want to come too?" asked Polly. "He can, can't he, mamma?" "I don't know as I want to, all the time," said Alan. "I'd like it when I can't do anything else; but when the boys are round, I'd rather be with them, of course." "That settles it," said Polly, leaning forward to tickle his ear with a long-stemmed daisy.
Over this crust of pearl, poised always long-stemmed, yellow lilies, like hovering butterflies; and, in a clear space of water, each little wave caught the sun and sky reflection, so that it seemed rimmed with gold and set with a big, oval turquoise. "Well have I pleased you?" Freule Menela asked at last. The moment had come for an understanding.
So Jack walked down-stairs and out through the porch to the lawn, where he saw Lorraine already seated in the arbour, placing the long-stemmed lilies in gilded bowls. "It will be dark soon," he said, stepping up beside her. "Thank you for being good to my horse. Is it more than a scratch?" "No it is nothing. The horse shall stand in our stable until to-morrow. Are you very tired? Sit beside me.
Higher and higher he climbed till he seemed no bigger than a lark ascending into the blue sky, and then, like some tiny speck, far, far away, on the western horizon. The people gazed in open-mouthed wonder. They were struck dumb and filled with some nameless fear; they hardly dared to look at the enchanter who stood calmly in their midst, smoking his long-stemmed pipe.
The meadows were a waving mass of golden buttercups; the shallow water at the river's edge just below the shop was blue with spikes of arrow-weed; a bunch of fragrant water-lilies, gathered from the mill-pond's upper levels, lay beside Waitstill's mending-basket, and every foot of roadside and field within sight was swaying with long-stemmed white and gold daisies.
