"It's like when Mother cooks rose geranium leaves in her grape jell. She says they gives it a finer flavour, but they don't really. You can't taste them for the grapes, so they're just wasted when they're so darling and perfumy and just right in the garden." Her face was pink with earnestness. "D'you see what I mean, Rev?" "Yes, I think I see, Harry." Then she surprised him.

There was a scent of sweet-brier, of tall perfumy lilies and spicy carnations from the gardens. I looked at the windows of the houses I passed, but the blinds were drawn, and the bees and the flowers were the only waking things there. The village seemed asleep, until I turned the corner, and there, coming out of the vicarage gate, was Uncle Max himself.

She picked up my tray and went out, and I felt the way I had that other time, all fussed, because I'd bothered a Queen with my silly affairs. And I could have sworn then she was a Queen, Beryl, she had such a dignified way of being sweet and she smelled so nice and perfumy a different perfume. And that Brina had put the gorgeousest nightgown on me, too."

"It is very ungrateful of Norman," said Flora; "I cannot see what he finds to complain of." "You would know," said Norman, "if, instead of playing those perpetual tunes of yours, you had to sit it out in that perfumy drawing-room, without anything to listen to worth hearing. If I have looked over that court album once, I have a dozen times, and there is not another book in the place."

Sophy received a silver Maltese Cross, and little Albinia a perfumy rose-leaf bracelet. There was a Russian grape-shot for Maurice, and with it a letter.

George Grant was a big hungry lad, and his breakfast among nine at home had not been much to speak of; but savoury as was the sausage, and perfumy as was the coffee, he would have scorned to take a fragment from that stranger, beg him to do so as Paul might; and what could not be eaten at that time, with a good pint of the coffee, was put aside in a safe nook in the stable to be warmed up for supper.

"Oh, Leigh, it is no matter what our forefathers do they were all a bad lot if we go back far enough. It's what we do that counts. It's what I do as Thaine Aydelot, not as Asher Aydelot's son, that I must stand or fall by. It's how far we win our wilderness, little girl, not the wilderness our fathers won or lost." Thaine was sitting beside Leigh now, under the perfumy white honeysuckle blossoms.

"You should have assumed that immediately, Peter," Linda lifted her eyes to Morrison's face with a sparkle of gay challenge, and by way of apology interjected "I am only a kid, you know, so I may call John's friend Peter you should have assumed that sage and greasewood would simply have vanished from any home location chosen by Peter, leaving it all lacy blue with lilac, and misty white with lemonade bush, and lovely gold with monkey flower, and purple with lupin, and painted blood red with broad strokes of Indian paint brush, and beautifully lighted with feathery flames from Our Lord's Candles, and perfumy as altar incense with wild almond."

Ursula had been with us a good while, strolling about on her husband's arm; then he had sent her in to rest, and we two remained out together. How soft they were, those faint, misty, summer stars! what a mysterious, perfumy haze they let fall over us!

It was all dead in the middle. Do you remember when we played hide-and-seek in there?" "I never forget anything you do, Marjie," I answered; "but I'm glad the bushes are thinned out." She broke off some plumes of the perfumy blossoms. "Take those to Aunt Candace. Tell her I sent them. Don't let her think you stole them," she was herself now, and her fear was gone.
