And Paul looking curious, Alfred told all about the going out for holly, and the dining at the Grange, and the snap-dragon over the pudding, till he grew so eager and animated that he lost breath, and his painful cough came on, so that he could just whisper, 'What did you do? 'Oh! I don't know.
More than once, during that period of the snap-dragon, did he say to himself that he would descend into the lists and break a lance in that tourney; but still he did not descend, and his lance remained inglorious in its rest. At the other end of the long table the ghost also had two attendant knights, and neither of them refrained from the battle.
It lay saddest, our travellers thought, upon the little circular garden near Durham Terrace, where every brightness of fall flowers abounded, marigold, coxcomb, snap-dragon, dahlia, hollyhock, and sunflower.
There used to be much snap-dragon growing on the walls opposite my freshman's rooms there, and I had for years taken it as the emblem of my own perpetual residence even unto death in my University. On the morning of the 23rd I left the Observatory. I have never seen Oxford since, excepting its spires, as they are seen from the railway .
Mother got her fate out of a snap-dragon, and we have the identical bowl. We always used to bring it out at Christmas, when we were all at home." "O Miss Pennington! How perfectly lovely! How good you are!" "Well, I'm glad you take it so. I was afraid it was terribly meddlesome. But the fancy or the memory seized me." How wonderfully our Halloween party was turning out!
"Bless your life, no! Nothing half so pleasant! And not another word would the hot-tempered gentleman say on the subject. In the course of a few hours Mr. and Mrs. Skratdj recovered their equanimity. The punch was brewed in a jug, and tasted quite as good as usual. The evening was very lively. There were a Christmas tree, Yule cakes, log, and candles, furmety, and snap-dragon after supper.
Doctor John Hautayne was the army surgeon who had been with him in the Wilderness, and had ridden a stray horse across a battle-field, in his shirt-sleeves, right in front of a Rebel battery, to get to some wounded on the other side. And the Rebel gunners, holding their halyards, stood still and shouted. It put an end to the tricks, except the snap-dragon.
"Miss Pennington! Would you come?" "I took it in my head to want to. That was why I came over. Are you going to play snap-dragon? I wondered if you had thought of that." "We don't know about it," said Ruth. "Anything, that is, except the name." "That is just what I thought possible. Nobody knows those old games nowadays. May I come and bring a great dragon-bowl with me, and superintend that part?
There were no pleasant games of snap-dragon, or touch, or even a gossip over the tea-table, for the young-lady foxes. Empty, vast, and cold were the halls of the Snow Queen. The flickering flame of the northern lights could be plainly seen, whether they rose high or low in the heavens, from every part of the castle.
No animal ever did bite me except that poor frightened creature, and he didn't mean it. We kept him for ten years after that, and how he did love me!"
