"Then it is an evil thing," promptly answered Grace; "and so every good gift of heaven may be made an evil thing to those who use it for an evil purpose. You know it is said that a spider extracts poison from the same flower where the bee gets honey. The deadly nightshade draws life from the same rain and sunshine that nourishes and matures the wheat, from which our bread is made.
It can never be done more perfectly than at Furness Abbey, which is in itself a very sombre scene, and stands, moreover, in the midst of a melancholy valley, the Saxon name of which means the Vale of the Deadly Nightshade.
A flush had deadened Corte's face to the hue of nightshade. "You thunder in a clear atmosphere, my Ugo," returned the old man, as he fell back calmly at full length. "And who is this signorina Vittoria?" cried Corte. "A cantatrice who is about to appear upon the boards, as I have already remarked: of La Scala, let me add, if you hold it necessary." "And what does she do here?"
It was noon when they slowly steamed into the beautiful harbour of Noumea, and before them lay the crime-cursed land, fair with the fatal fairness of deadly nightshade. There, for nearly five years, Maxime Dalahaide had not lived, but existed. To give him back to life, she had come thousands of miles and spent more than twenty thousand pounds.
"If you won't come to me, I'll go to you!" she cried; and then she sprang upon him, and all grew confused, the berries of the nightshade whipped his forehead, and the moon and the stars went out.

But the nightshade of his friend's listlessness seemed to be diffusing in the air around him a tenuous and deadly exhalation and He found himself glancing from one casual word to another on his right or left in stolid wonder that they had been so silently emptied of instantaneous sense until every mean shop legend bound his mind like the words of a spell and his soul shrivelled up sighing with age as he walked on in a lane among heaps of dead language.
Faraday Little smiled in the superiority of boyhood over girlhood. "I allude to the classification. That plant is the belladonna, or deadly nightshade. Its alkaloid is a narcotic poison." Sauciness turned pale. "I have just eaten some!" And began to whimper. "Oh dear, what shall I do?" Then did it, i. e., wrung her small fingers, and cried. "Pardon me one moment."
In the cornfields, instead of the sheaves of grain, ineradicable weeds abound, and instead of the golden heads, thistles, burdock, and nightshade are rampant, for no one comes to cut them down. At such a season Michael arrived at his villa on the Balaton. It was an ancient pile.
Yes, he was WRONG, for there before him, in the depths of the forest, were two children. They were looking at a bush of "pizon berries," the deadly nightshade, as it was fitly called, and one was warning the other of its dangerous qualities. "But how do you know it's the 'pizon berry'?" asked the other.
