I somehaa like posies on graves; they mak' me think of th' owd hymn, "There everlastin' spring abides, And never-witherin' flaars." Now, Mr. Penrose was one of the so-called theological young bloods, and held little sympathy with Dr. Watts's sensuous views of a future state.
she came to see you all her pretty duds on bringing christmas posies from her mothers garden riding in the tunnel underneath the hudson brother was it rum caused your heart to harden "What on earth is there funny in that?" said Mrs. Mifflin. "Poor little lamb, I think it was terrible." "There's more of it," cried Roger, and opened his mouth to continue. "No more, thank you," said Helen.
"Even if you could afford it, I'm almighty afraid you'd run up against exactly the same thing," Bob concluded, "and they'd certainly use the Brown case as a precedent." "Well, I've got money!" said Samuels. "Don't you forget it. I don't have to live in a place like this. I've got a good, sawn-lumber house, painted, in Durham and a garden of posies." "I'd like to see it," said Bob.
The vile air of the low lands will float over into and contaminate the pure air of the guarded pleasure gardens, and the evil germs will carry disease, crime and death, no matter how many fountains and white statutes and posies you may set up between.

"No," answered Leviatt, without turning. Ferguson began rolling a cigarette. When he had done this he lighted it and puffed slowly. "Well, now," he said, "that's mighty peculiar. I'd swore that I saw you over in Bear Flat." Leviatt turned. "You've been pickin' posies too long with Mary Radford," he sneered. Ferguson smiled. "Mebbe I have," he returned.
The leaders, kissing her hands, took the posies; Zosia curtsied once more to all in turn, her cheeks glowing.
Anything else?" "Not today," said Jessamine, with a wistful glance at the honeysuckle. Mr. Bell, junior, saw it. In an instant the honeysuckle was unpinned and handed to her. "If you like posies, you're welcome to this. I guess you're fond of flowers," he added, as he noted the flash of delight that passed over her pale face.

"Is Tillie no goin' to bring in the tea? It's past the hour. I see she grows slack, wantin' me to look after her." "Ring for it then, Jean. I'm no for leavin' my chair to ring for it." So Jean pulled the cord and the tea was brought in due time, with hot scones and the unwonted addition of a bowl of roses to grace the tray. "The posies are a greetin' to ye, Jean; I ordered them mysel'. Weel?
Colin bleated forth his passion in rhyme, and cast sheep's eyes from among his flock, while Phyllis coquetted with her crook and stuck posies in his hat; royal Ferdinand and Miranda played at chess; Ivanhoe upset his fellow-men like ninepins for love of lackadaisical Rowena; and "sweet Moll" turned the pages while her lover, Milton, sang.
And what an adventure it was to walk the three versts into town, leaving a trail of perfume from the wild-flower posies we carried to our city friends! But these things did not last. The mill changed hands, and the new owner put a protégé of his own in my father's place. So, after a short breathing spell, we were driven back into the swamp of growing poverty and trouble.
