'Well, Miguel, says I, 'this is about as nice a place for a falls as ever I see, but " "Miguel!" cried Euphemia. "Is that your husband's name?" "Well, no," said Pomona, "it isn't. His given name is Jonas, but I hated to call him Jonas, an' on a bridal trip, too. He might jus' as well have had a more romantic-er name, if his parents had 'a' thought of it.
Many other poets beside Milton had used it long before Phillips' time. But Pomona was also regarded as presiding over other fruits, and, as such, is invoked by Thomson: "Bear me, Pomona, to thy citron groves, To where the lemon and the piercing lime, With the deep orange, glowing through the green, Their lighter glories blend.
Lord Edward came bounding to the gate to meet us, and I am happy to say that he knew me at once, and wagged his tail in a very sociable way. I had the key of a side-door in my pocket, for we had thought it wise to give ourselves command of this door, and so we let ourselves in without ringing or waking Pomona. All was quiet within, and we went upstairs with the lantern.
Pomona! is that you? You can bring it here, now, if you want to get at your clear-starching." I don't believe that Pomona hankered after clear-starching, but she brought the baby and I went away. I could not see any hope ahead. Of course, in time, it would grow up, but then it couldn't grow up during my vacation. Then it was that I determined to carry out my plan.
Run into Pomona to Gary avenue, turn to the right and follow it to the Chino ranch; follow the winding roads, circling to the Chino hills, to Rincon, then on, over fairly good roads, to Corona. Pass through that city, then down the beautiful Temescal Canyon to Elsinore. Move on through Murrietta to Temecula. Three Routes. Beyond Temecula three routes are open to you.
Pomona thought her introduction of herself had not been clear, and repeated: "Strides Cottage, just this side Chorlton, betwixt Farmer Jones and the Reedcroft where her young ladyship bid stop the carriage...." She paused to let the old lady think. Perhaps she was going too fast. But no it was not that at all. Old Maisie was quite clear about the incident, and its whereabouts. "Oh yes!" said she.
But the daughters were louder in their anger than was their mother. 'He can't really mean it, said Sophia. 'He does, said Lady Pomona, with tears in her eyes. 'He must unmean it again; that's all, said Georgiana. 'Dolly has said something to him very rough, and he resents it upon us. Why did he bring us up at all if he means to take us down before the season has begun?
Now we learn what patient periods must round themselves before the rock is formed, then before the rock is broken, and the first lichen race has disintegrated the thinnest external plate into soil, and opened the door for the remote Flora, Fauna, Ceres, and Pomona, to come in. How far off yet is the trilobite! how far the quadruped! how inconceivably remote is man!
Pomona had a subconsciousness that this made three; an outrageous allowance of grandmothers for any boy! But she would not say so, as this old lady might be sensitive about her own claims, which might be called in question if Dave's list was revised. Ealing recalled an obscure passage in his letter, which was really an insertion, in the text, of the address of his haven of refuge.
The objectionable name was not mentioned again in her father's hearing, but there was a sad scene between herself, Lady Pomona, and her sister. When Mr Longestaffe and his younger daughter arrived, the poor mother did not go down into the hall to meet her child, from whom she had that morning received the dreadful tidings about the Jew.
