The witch, who had noticed the delay in Prunella's answer, approached her door calling angrily: 'Answer at once, or I will kill you. So Prunella answered: 'It was the yellow cock that crowed. And the witch stamped her foot and gnashed her teeth. Soon after another cock crowed. 'Tell me now which one it is, called the witch.
At midnight she awoke hearing a cock crow. 'Which one was that? shouted the witch. Then, trembling, Prunella knocked on the wall and whispered: 'Bensiabel, Bensiabel, tell me, which cock crowed? 'Will you give me a kiss if I tell you? he whispered back through the wall. But she answered 'No. Then he whispered back to her: 'Nevertheless, I will tell you. It was the yellow cock that crowed.
The captain hath asked her, so hath the parson, but she will none of them she looks higher than either, and is, to say truth, a woman of sense, and so forth, too profound, and of spirit something too high, to put up with greasy buff or rusty prunella. For ourselves, we need but hint that we have a consort in the land of the living, and, what is more to purpose, Mrs. Martha knows it.
"If it suits you," said Prunella, "how much will it be worth?" "I don't understand." "How much would you be willing to pay for it?" "Oh, we never pay for poems," said Mr. Houghton. "Why not?" asked Miss Prune, evidently disappointed. "Our contributors are kind enough to send them gratuitously." "Is that fostering American talent?" demanded Prunella, indignantly.
"There's nothing I think so grand, as walking up a mountain," he said after a while.

She wound the four braids of her smooth brown hair around her big shell comb and put on her new prunella gaiters with patent-leather heels and tips.
This feature of our manners will perhaps serve to suggest a suspicion, in the masculine world, of the domestic drama revealed by this exceptional chemise. Caroline had put on a pair of Scotch thread stockings, little prunella buskins, and her most deceptive corsets. She had her hair dressed in the fashion that most became her, and embellished it with a cap of the most elegant form.
And now, as to Coryston " She turned to him, facing him magnificently, though not, as Marcia was certain, without trepidation. Coryston flung back his head with a laugh. "Ah, now we come to it!" he said. "The rest was all 'but leather and prunella." James murmured, "Corry old man?" Marcia flushed angrily.
"I will love him all the more and be the kinder to him for this vile creature's desertion," she thought, as she beat the floor nervously with the little prunella gaiter, and this was all the good Grace Atherton had achieved.
Shod in prunella boots, over gray silk stockings, in a gown of handsome corded silk, her hair in smooth bands under a very pretty black velvet bonnet, lined with yellow satin, Lisbeth made her way to the Rue Saint-Dominique by the Boulevard des Invalides, wondering whether sheer dejection would at last break down Hortense's brave spirit, and whether Sarmatian instability, taken at a moment when, with such a character, everything is possible, would be too much for Steinbock's constancy.
