"It only needs a palm-tree to make the landscape quite complete," said he, thoughtfully. In a minute or so he advanced towards the bushes, and, kneeling down, plucked a tuft of yellow marigold, which are called in this country "the dead man's flower." Afterwards I heard him sobbing. "Oh Chéma! what is the matter?" cried Lucien, running up to his friend.
For twopence I'd knock your ugly head off this present minute." Whereupon Gedge apparently wilted before the indignant eye of Sergeant Marigold and faded away down the High Street. All this in itself seemed very trivial, but for the past year the attitude of Gedge had been mysterious.
"Why do you think it was a large calibre pistol, Major?" asked Mr. Marigold attentively. "I've seen plenty of men killed at close range by revolver and rifle bullets out at the front," replied Desmond, "but I never saw a man's face messed up like this. In a raid once I shot a German at point blank range with my revolver, the ordinary Army issue pattern, and I looked him over after.
Similar customs have been and indeed are still observed in various parts of England. The garlands are generally in the form of hoops intersecting each other at right angles. It appears that a hoop wreathed with rowan and marsh marigold, and bearing suspended within it two balls, is still carried on May Day by villagers in some parts of Ireland.
He flatly refused to execute my order. I dismissed him on the spot. He countered with the statement that he was an old man who had served me faithfully for many years. I bade him go on serving me faithfully and not be a damned fool. The roses were to be cut. If he didn't cut them, Marigold would. "He's been a-cutting them already," he growled. "Before I came."
Only the confounded Vienna matches, ohne phosphor-geruch, have worn my sensibilities a little. Then there is the MARIGOLD. When I was of smallest dimensions, and wont to ride impacted between the knees of fond parental pair, we would sometimes cross the bridge to the next village-town and stop opposite a low, brown, "gambrel-roofed" cottage.
If their dainty mechanism excite our wonder, what shall be said of the revelations in the great order of the Compositæ, where each so-called flower, as in the dandelion, daisy, cone-flower, marigold, is really a dense cluster of minute flowers, each as perfect in its construction as in the examples already mentioned, each with its own peculiar plan designed to insure the transfer of its own pollen to the stigma of its neighbor, while excluding it from its own?
The way candles were consumed caused father to wonder where his best box of spermacetis had gone to. I knew I could do the poetry, and I firmly resolved that I would read it through, from beginning to end, in a clear, well-modulated voice, that could be heard by all, including the minister and Belle Marigold. I would not blush, or stammer, or get a frog in my throat.
Here's my old thing step up here, Marigold, and be introduced. She's really nicer than she looks, Mrs. Petticoat." "Indeed I'm not," Marigold Leathersham cried gaily, "I couldn't be nobody could be!" She came running a beautiful, slim young woman, with a wealth of expensive looking gold hair, white and gold teeth that broke into a lavish smile.
"Well," explained Marigold, "I take it that your young foreign friend has met my wife and talked politics to her, and that what has happened is the result. She must be a young person of extraordinary ability; but it would be only losing one convert, and I could make it up to her in in other ways." He spoke with unconscious pathos. It rather touched the Professor.
