The girl who had spoken watched it eagerly, a color in her cheeks, and one little foot in its square-toed, rosetted shoe tapping impatiently upon the floor of the wide porch in which she stood. Her companion, lounging upon the wooden steps, with his back to a pillar, looked up with an amused light in his blue eyes. "Why are you so eager, cousin?" he drawled.
I forgot; in May it wouldn't be blooming, and it's so pretty to say that its head is 'sweetly rosetted'... I wish the teacher wasn't away; she would like 'sweetly rosetted, and she would like to hear me recite 'Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll! that I learned out of Aunt Jane's Byron; the rolls come booming out of it just like the waves at the beach.... I could make nice compositions now, everything is blooming so, and it's so warm and sunny and happy outdoors.
By eight o'clock, any Sunday morning, I was to be observed by an admiring public on the wharf. The garb and attributes of sacrifice consisted of a black frock coat, rosetted, its pockets bulging with sweetmeats and inferior cigars, trousers of light blue, a silk hat like a reflector, and a varnished wand.
"Hey there!" They both turned, for the voice would not be denied. It belonged to a man sitting with another man at a table on the outskirts of the group of tables.

The young man called Longears, pointed out the rosetted boat to that intelligent serviteur, and then turned to the company.
