Her father, an absorbed man of business, had, at Grandmother's suggestion, been glad to let her have the girl to bring up or to finish bringing up according to her own ideas. When we had first seen Rhodora there could be no question that she sadly needed bringing up by somebody. To that date she had, apparently, only come up by herself.

On the margin of some quiet swamp a myriad of bare twigs seem suddenly overspread with purple butterflies, and we know that the Rhodora is in bloom.
Grandmother handed her the little square of fine linen, exquisitely embroidered with her own monogram, and took another and plainer one from her bag. "Try not to lose that one, Granddaughter," she said, in her gentle way. Rhodora pushed it inside her sleeve. "Oh, I seldom lose two in one day," she assured the handkerchief's owner. I fear it was rather a dull afternoon for Rhodora.
We are going for a pull; come along and steer," said Frank, for the sunset promised to be fine, and the boys liked a brisk row in their newly painted boat, the "Rhodora." "Go ahead and get ready, I'll just cut round and ask at the door. It will seem kind, and I must know how Ed is. Won't be long;" and Jack was off at his best pace.
"You were not very different, my dear," said Grandmother, in her gentle way, "from many girls of this day." "Forgive me, dear," responded Rhodora, "but I was so much worse that only a grandmother like you could have shown me what I was." "I never tried to show you what you were," said Grandmother. "Only what you could be. And now I must lose you." The Preacher came up, the Skeptic by his side.
We may yet visit many lovely and lonely places, meadows thick with violet, or the homes of the shy Rhodora, or those sloping forest-haunts where the slight Linnaea hangs its twin-born heads, but no scene will linger on our vision like this annual Feast of the Lilies.
I enjoyed lecturing, but the subject is a difficult one, and I don't think any one of them had any very clear notion of what I was talking about, except Rhodora, and I know she did n't. To tell the truth, I was lecturing to instruct myself. I mean to try something easier next time. I have thought of the Basque language and literature. What do you say to that? The Society goes on famously.
She's getting pretty old." The Skeptic and the Philosopher each did his duty by Rhodora before the evening was over. The Skeptic played four sets of tennis with her she is an admirable player but he beat her until he discovered that she was growing very much annoyed then he allowed her to win the last set by a game.
I'm as raw a recruit as ever put on a uniform and fell in with the rest of the company for his first drill. But I mean to count one!" "I'm sure you will," said I, regarding him with growing pleasure in the sight. "And Rhodora will count two," said he, his eyes following her. "One and two, side by side, you know, stand for twelve."
