So vivid and so violent that it seemed to her even now that she was still sitting in the gilt and velvet salon in the Villa des Palmes; she still saw the thin green light that came slanting through the half-closed shutters; warm southern smells floated in, they mixed with the thick stifling scent of patchouli and orris root wafted from Madame as she went to and fro, and with some other odour, bitter and sickly, that came from the room beyond.
She was queening it, apparently, over a little band of awed masculine worshippers. Either by accident or for some curious reason, she took a chair back to back with Coleman's chair. Her sleeve of fragrant stuff almost touched his shoulder and he felt appealing to him seductively a perfume of orris root and violet. He was drinking bottled stout with his chop; be sat with a face of wood.
Nobody seemed to notice, so I carried it off." Fred laughed. "Crazy child! Why, your things always smell of orris; is it a penance?" "No, I love it. But I saw that the firm didn't lose anything by me. I went back and bought it there whenever I had a quarter to spend. I got a lot to take to Arizona. I made it up to them." "I'll bet you did!" Fred took her hand.
I had more conversation with her before I left, but nothing appeared to move her resolution, and I left her lamenting, in the first place, that she had abjured love, because, notwithstanding the orris root, which she kept in her mouth to take away the smell of the spirits, I found myself very much taken with such beauty of person, combined with so much vigour of mind; and in the second, that one so young should carry on a system of deceit and self-destruction.
I laughed. "Lorraine has the sharpest ears," I said. "Ears!" said Lorraine. "It isn't ears. I smell orris. She's coming. Mr. Dane, will you take Peggy out of that window into the garden? Don't yip, either of you, while you're within gunshot, and don't appear till I tell you." "Lorraine!" came a voice, softly, from the front walk. It was Aunt Elizabeth.
Erwin understood. "Nothing more?" he ventured. "Nary thing, except that we gave the Krupp works hell for about fifteen or twenty minutes. You should have seen the explosions." "That part was good. Say, Blaine," Orris, was looking, thoughtful, "has it ever struck you how terribly uncertain a thing life is " "Oh, rats!" Blaine shook his smaller companion as they neared the club door.
Standing in the Sun is the best way of Fermentation, when the drink is strong. The root of Angelica or Elecampane, or Eringo, or Orris, may be good and pleasant, to be boiled in the Liquor. Raspes and Cherries and Bilberies are never to be boiled, but their juyce put into the Liquor, when it is tunning. I conceive it best to use very little spice of any kind in Meathes.
Blaine laughed gleefully as he turned away, patting Orris on the shoulder approvingly. "I always thought you were a sticker, Orry." "That's better 'n being a slicker or a slacker, isn't it?" Again the big fellow laughed as he hurried off towards the Captain's quarters at the far end of the grounds. The day passed quietly.
Woods was aware of a light step, a swishing, sibilant, delightful rustling the caress of sound is the rustling of a well-groomed woman's skirts and of an afterthought of violets, of a mere reminiscence of orris, all of which came toward him through the dimness of the hall. He started, noticeably. "Billy," Miss Hugonin stated, "I'm sorry for what I said to you.
The bread-fruit is the most abundant of all the trees, and grows to a very large size; the cocoa-nut, the wild orange, and the lime, are all to be found. Bamboos, wild sugar-cane, wild nutmeg, besides many others, only require cultivation. Caoutchouc, gum arabic, castor beans, ginger, orris root, and coffee, will in time be added to these productions.
