Allis pinched her father's arm again, and looked up in his face inquiringly, as from the seat behind them the jumbled conversation came to their ears. Porter nodded his head understandingly, and frowned. The stephanotis was choking his nostrils, and an occasional word was filling his heart with confirmation of his suspicions. "I don't like it," he muttered to Allis.
Is there the note of my instructions to the Khedive? Is there I'm sure there is not any mention of the negotiation with Stephanotis Bey? 'I have seen Stephanotis myself; I have just come from him, said Atlee, grasping at the escape the name offered. 'Ah, you know the old Paiikao?
I have seen her once, and have no wish to see her again. Oil and vinegar will not mix." "It is not a question of oil and vinegar, Mary, but of two women " "So much the worse I hate women." "Two women, both beautiful, both clever, and yet so different! Which do you think sweetest and most beautiful rose or stephanotis?" "Don't be a silly flatterer, Fan.
Carved-wood barrows fitted with tin inside may hold a growing plant stephanotis, hyacinths, ferns, ivy, or any other hardy plant and are very pleasing souvenirs. The designs for reticules and chftelaines are endless.
Boxall's photograph over it, and his drawing vis-a-vis to it at the other end of the room, and by my window a splendid gloxinia with fine full flowers out in a very pretty porcelain pot, both Mr. Codrington's gift. So fresh and pretty. The steps of the verandah are a mass of honeysuckle. The stephanotis, with the beautiful scented white flowers and glossy leaves, covers one of the posts.
But in fact he found them tearing, great, smelly things. Obliged by Annette to have one a Rollhard with pearl-grey cushions, electric light, little mirrors, trays for the ashes of cigarettes, flower vases all smelling of petrol and stephanotis he regarded it much as he used to regard his brother-in-law, Montague Dartie.
Stephanotis, passiflora, tuberose, alamanda, Bougainvillea, and other trailers of gorgeous colors, climb over everything, and make the night heavy with their odors. There must be more than forty rooms in this old place, besides great arched corridors, and all manner of queer staircases and corners. Dutch tiling and angularities and conceits of all kinds abound.
Such a tiger-lily on my table, and the pretty delicate achimenes, and the stephanotis climbing up the verandah, and a bignonia by its side, with honeysuckle all over the steps, and jessamine all over the two water-tanks at the angle of the verandah. The Melanesians have, I think, twenty-nine flower gardens, and they bring the flowers, &c. lots of flowers, and the oleanders are a sight!
Allis felt a rustle at her elbow as though someone wished to pass between the seats. The faintest whiff of stephanotis came to her on the lazy summer air. Involuntarily she turned her head and looked for the harsh-voiced woman who had been verily steeped in the aggressive odor the day of Lauzanne's triumph. Two burly men sat behind her. They, surely, did not affect perfumery.
The last lines of his letter were: 'I have made a curious and interesting acquaintance a certain Stephanotis Bey, governor of Scutari in Albania, a very venerable old fellow, who was never at Constantinople till now. The Pasha tells me in confidence that he is enormously wealthy.
