Then suddenly all his carefully conserved indifference fled. He bent forward quickly and, catching her hand, held it against his lips. "I'm crazy about you, Sidney. That's the truth. I wish I could die!" The cat, finding no active antagonism, sprang up on the balcony and rubbed against the boy's quivering shoulders; a breath of air stroked the morning-glory vine like the touch of a friendly hand.
Redbud, training up a drooping vine, replied, laughing: "Oh, no I was only jesting. Don't mind my nonsense. Look at that pretty morning-glory." Verty looked at Redbud, as if she were the object in question. "You will hurt your hand," he said, "those thorns on the briar are so sharp; take care!" And Verty grasped the vine, and, no doubt, accidentally, Redbud's hand with it.
"Evelyn, with all her arts, is a little faded already; don't you see it, Miriam? There is no corrosive poison equal to envy, and that, by-the-by, is her specialty. She is bitterly envious by nature. Most of those thin-lipped, sharp-elbowed, sharp-nosed women are, if you observe. Faded at twenty-three! Sad, but true of half our American morning-glory beauties.
What part grows first? What becomes of the seed-covering? What appears between the first pair of leaves? Was this to be seen in the seed? How many leaves are there at each joint of stem after the first pair? How do they differ from the first pair? What are the parts of the seed? What is there in the Morning-Glory seed that this has not? How do the first leaves change as the seedling grows?
The cotyledons in the first make apparently an unsuccessful effort to become leaves, which the second give up altogether. If they are adapted for younger ones, it is especially important to begin with a seed where the leaf-like character of the cotyledons is evident, or becomes so. Maple is excellent for the purpose. Morning-Glory is too small. Squash will answer very well.
'O pearly mouth of friend, who set those pretty pearls in line, * And filled thee full of whitest chamomile and reddest wine? Who lent the morning-glory in thy smile to shimmer and shine * Who with that ruby-padlock dared thy lips to seal-and sign! And as saith another, 'O pearl-set mouth of friend * Pity poor Ruby's cheek Boast not o'er one who owns * Thee, union and unique.
It had vanished completely: the walls of squared logs were gone; the low, curved roof had fallen; the door-step with the morning-glory vines climbing up beside it had sunken out of sight; nothing remained but the dome of the clay oven at the back of the house, and a heap of smouldering embers. Patrick sat beside his wife on a flat stone that had formerly supported the corner of the porch.
What are the parts of the seed? How does this differ from the Morning-Glory seed? How from the Sunflower seed? How do the first pair of leaves of the Bean change as they grow? How many leaves are there at each joint of stem? How do they differ from the first pair? What are the parts of the seed? Compare it with the Morning-Glory, Sunflower, and Bean.
Every little morning-glory whose purple bosom is thrilled with the amorous kisses of the sun, tends to put a blossom in your heart. Do not judge of the value of everything by the market reports. Every flower about a house certifies to the refinement of somebody. Every vine climbing and blossoming, tells of love and joy. Make your houses comfortable.
It was Arthur's old home, where he had passed his childhood at his uncle's a great cheery old farm-house, with morning-glory vines clinging to the windows, and sun-flowers thrusting their great yellow faces over the kitchen wall. The door was open, but the kitchen empty, and she surmised that Mrs.
