She went a few rods, found herself in a thick tangle of brush through which she could not force her way, started to back out, and caught her hair on a scraggly scrub which seemed to have as many prongs as there are briers on a rosebush. She was struggling there with her hands fumbling unavailingly at the back of her bowed head, when she was pounced upon by someone or something through the sage.
Not until, through the young husband's intercession, she had regained her liberty, after he prevented her kissing his hand and, to soothe her, had stroked her hair and cheeks in the magistrate's room, did the most ardent gratitude take possession of her soul. From this emotion, which filled heart and mind, a glowing wealth of other feelings had blossomed like buds upon a rosebush.
The remains of the Abbey stand in a sheltered place, but within view of Southampton Water; and it is a most picturesque and perfect ruin, all ivy-grown, of course, and with great trees where the pillars of the nave used to stand, and also in the refectory and the cloister court; and so much soil on the summit of the broken walls, that weeds flourish abundantly there, and grass too; and there was a wild rosebush, in full bloom, as much as thirty or forty feet from the ground.

That rosebush is close by her. You would give her a terrible start!" "There is no lady in the house!" "Indeed! Is not your housekeeper a lady? She is counted such in a certain country where all are servants, and the liveries one and multitudinous!" "She cannot use the piano, anyhow!" "Her niece can: she is there a well-educated girl and a capital musician."
"I wish I knew more; but I've been abroad for the last two years, and my mother prefers rattlesnakes to politics. Which is Senator North?" "He is at the head of the table with Lady Mary, but that rosebush is in the way; you cannot see him." "And which is Senator Ward?" "Over there by Mrs. Shattuc, the woman in ivory-white and heliotrope." Betty flashed him a glance of renewed interest.
"I hope not you know we always have frosts up there." "Hm-m," murmured Caleb. There was a long silence; then Sarah drew a deep breath. "Caleb, do you s'pose it 'll get up to the front-chamber window this year that rosebush, I mean?" "I don't know, Sarah." Caleb's eyes were still on the wall-paper. There was another long silence, broken this time by the children's entrance.
The rosebush had been planted there by Corona's great-grandmother, the lady of the green and yellow bowl. It was a new variety, brought out from Scotland by Mary Gordon, and it bore large white roses which three generations of Gordon brides had worn on their wedding day.
