"Do you want these?" he inquired, holding up a bouquet of dahlias, scarlet sage, and purple petunias, and thinking of only one answer as possible. "I will take them," she said, as he stood waiting her formal consent to drop them from the car window.
"I had, of course, noticed it; but I had not mentioned it to Ethel. 'I read the papers now, she explained, 'morning and evening. Of course the market is off a little on account of the bank statement. But that is not enough to account for the Petunias." "'Ethel, you are nervous, I said. 'And it is the papers which make you so.
A breeze had sprung up, swaying inward the muslin curtains, and bringing a fresh scent of mignonette and petunias from the flower-box on the balcony. Lily sank with a sigh into one of the shabby leather chairs. "How delicious to have a place like this all to one's self! What a miserable thing it is to be a woman." She leaned back in a luxury of discontent.
I knew it because I went in to see Jeff in his house one night. The house, I think I said it, stood out behind the barber shop. You went out of the back door of the shop, and through a grass plot with petunias beside it, and the house stood at the end. You could see the light of the lamp behind the blind, and through the screen door as you came along.
