The sky of Spain was serene and cloudless; the air was full of the scent of orange-blossom; the stars shed clear, pure gleams of light; nature without seemed to give the dying man assurance of resurrection; a dutiful and obedient son sat there watching him with loving and respectful eyes. Towards eleven o'clock he desired to be left alone with this single-hearted being.
"I'm no better'n dirt, I suppose, though from the start she wasn' above robbin' me. Aw, she's sly ... Mr. Raymond, I'll curse her as she comes out, see if I don't!" "And I swear you shall not," said Taffy. The scent of Honoria's orange-blossom seemed to cling about them as they stood. Lizzie looked at him vindictively. "You wanted her yourself, I know. You weren't good enough, neither.
"Seville!" cried Athelny. "No, no, don't go there. Seville: it brings to the mind girls dancing with castanets, singing in gardens by the Guadalquivir, bull-fights, orange-blossom, mantillas, mantones de Manila. It is the Spain of comic opera and Montmartre. Its facile charm can offer permanent entertainment only to an intelligence which is superficial.
Saint Treverius exhaled a fragrance compounded of roses, lilies, balm, and incense; Saint Rose of Viterbo smelt of roses; Saint Cajetan of orange-blossom; Saint Catherine of Ricci of violets; Saint Theresa by turns of lily, jasmine and violet; Saint Thomas Aquinas of incense; Saint Francis of Paul of musk; I mention these at random as they occur to me.

Piles of white linen, and some aprons and quilts; and in a little box in the corner a spray of orange-blossom which she had bought from a smouse.
"There is no orange-blossom because that is for real weddings but won't you just put this bit of stephanotis in your hair?" and he broke off a few blooms. She was delighted, she loved dressing up, and she fixed it most becomingly with dexterous fingers above her left ear. "You do look sweet," he told her. "Now we must come " and he gave her his arm.
And these," casting lengths of exquisite tissue over the boy's shoulder, "these are the mists of the dawn, David, all silvery white and golden rose and jewelled blue. But oh! oh! these are the loveliest of all! A pair of slippers in orange-blossom kid, spangled with silver! Look at them! Just look, everybody!"
He laughed at her orange-blossom bouquet, and said that it was most appropriate, then proceeded to embrace her tenderly in the passage; and indeed he would have been a poor sort of lover if he had not. It was exactly at this juncture that old Silas Croft happened to open the sitting-room door and became the spectator of this surprising and attractive tableau.
It would have been a study for an artist to have watched her face as she worked, smoothing out wrinkles, shaking the lace down and uncrushing it, straightening a bruised orange-blossom, and putting everything in place.
'I'm so glad you've come, said Leslie, as she bent to allow the dresser to place a wreath of orange-blossom on her head. 'I wonder you didn't think of asking Mr. Lennox to put you with us before. 'I didn't like to. I was afraid of being in your way, Kate answered. 'I hope Beaumont won't mind my being here. 'What matter if she does?
