The man at the desk shrugged his shoulders, then, helping her to a comfortable seat on the arm-chair, said: "All right. What is it, Rosy Posie?" "Uncle Em, am I rich?" "Er what's that? Oh, well," judiciously, "you'll do." "Very rich? How rich, Uncle Em?" The big swing-chair revolved with rapidity, to the peril of the young lady on its arm.
It's as sweet as a posie if you smell to it, and all of it's cured alike; and I think, Fleda, there's a quarter more weight of it. I ha'n't proved it nor weighed it, but I've an eye and a hand as good as most folks', and I'll qualify to there being a fourth part more weight of it; and it's a beautiful colour. The critters is as fond of it as you and I be of strawberries."
Hit would have shore been bricks and cabbages fer Logan, right when he's plannin' a posie shower. "Forty dollars was none too big to fend off the disaster. But where Logan missed the gap in the fence was that he didn't inquire as to details. He knew Ugly come in by train. He thought the forty would be expended in the same way."
I'll pu' the budding rose when Phoebus peeps in view, For it's like a baumy kiss o' her sweet bonnie mou' The hyacinth's for constancy, wi' its unchanging blue And a' to be a posie for my ain dear May The lily it is pure and the lily it is fair, And in her lovely bosom I'll place the lily there, The daisy's for simplicity of unaffected air; And a' to be a posie to my ain dear May.
The lilac bush by the kitchen window is over a foot higher, and the elm in the front yard died and had to be cut down. And yet it don't seem the same place that it used to be."

But everything in the house looked jest the same.
But I’d teach you all I know—and, then, it’s such fun. You could have a big shop for I know just how you like big things—just as I like little ones.” “Buffalo” Westabrook laughed. “I may have to come to it yet but it doesn’t look like it this moment. My gracious, Posie, how you have improved! I never would know you for the same child. Where did you get those dimples?

"I don't seem to recollect any Bill Summers," she said, thoughtfully gazing straight into the innocent blue eyes of the rustic young man. "But I know the Summerses, all right.
These posie rings are so called because of the little poetical sentiments associated with them. They were often used as engagement rings, and sometimes as wedding rings.

One of the mottoes in an old ring is pathetic; evidently it was worn by an invalid, who was trying to be patient, "Quant Dieu Plera melior sera."
