"My dear Lavinia!" she exclaimed, critically overlooking the other's preparations. "You look very appealing like a snowdrop; exactly. I should say the toilet for Sunday at the convent; but no longer appropriate outside. Really, I must speak to the marchesa parents are so slow to see the differences in their own family. Gheta has been a little overemphasized.
Round the walls stood seven little beds close together, with sheets as white as snow. Snowdrop being so hungry and thirsty, ate a little of the vegetables and bread on each plate, and drank a drop of wine from every cup, for she did not like to empty one entirely.
"Well, she didn't, you see," says Fabian, lightly but he shrinks a little from her embrace, and moves so that she cannot touch his right arm. His eyes are fixed upon the balcony above, where Portia still stands, pale as an early snowdrop and thoroughly unnerved.
"I say, Snowdrop," said the sergeant, "how do you come to have only five bodies, when Cucumbershin there has six?" "To be sure I hab no more as five, and weight enough too. You no see Corporal Bumblechops dere? You knows how big he was." "Well, but where is Sergeant Heavystern? why did you not fetch him away with the others?"
Chloe, Becky, Ann, Snowdrop, Pearl, Susan, Tilly all, usually cheerful and smiling, wore distressful countenances now. Nor did they speak to him as had been their wont. They seemed to be afraid of him, yet what had he done what had he ever done that these well-fed, well-treated slaves should shrink from him in his hour of trouble? It was still gloomier inside the house.
Look at the pendent white flower, shaped like a snowdrop and veined with purple streaks, and the beautiful trefoil leaves folded like a heart, some, the young ones, so vividly yet tenderly green that the foliage of the elm and the hawthorn would show dully at their side, others of a deeper tint, and lined, as it were, with a rich and changeful purple!
As the princess was as much taken with the prince's appearance as he was with hers, they decided to be married. And so the wedding was celebrated the same day with great pomp and ceremony. Once upon a time there was a little princess called Snowdrop, who had a cruel step-mother who was jealous of her.
Then the queen was startled, and turned yellow and green with envy. From that hour she so hated Snowdrop, that she burned with secret wrath whenever she saw the maiden. Pride and envy grew apace like weeds in her heart, till she had no rest day or night. So she called a huntsman and said, "Take the child out in the forest, for I will endure her no longer in my sight.
A flower as white as the snowdrop now begins to appear, and farther on it spots the whole sward with its beautiful pure white. A fresh crop appears every morning, and if the day is cloudy they do not expand till the afternoon. In an hour or so they droop and die. They are named by the natives, from their shape, "Tlaku ea pitse", hoof of zebra.
"You never saw a guitar, I guess," rejoined Romaine, pouting, "or you wouldn't think so." "I'd grind a kitten," put in Rosy, "a white one, just like my Snowdrop. Snowdrop has runned away. I don't know where she is." "How funny she'd look, coming out of the coffee-mill, mewing and purring," said Eyebright. "Now stop telling what you'd grind, and let me go on.
