So we talked on gravely of the weather, and of the celebrated Doctor McQ , who was expected to give us an argumentative sermon that morning, until my argument came floating in at the door like a calm little bit of thistledown, to which our previous conversation had been as the thistle's self. The plain little church was gay that morning.
Place the crown upon her head, for she is Queen of all the Forest Fairies now." And as the crown shone on the head that Lily-Bell bent down on Thistle's breast, the forest seemed alive with little forms, who sprang from flower and leaf, and gathered round her, bringing gifts for their new Queen. "If I am Queen, then you are King, dear Thistle," said the Fairy.
A week later, when Gerald had gone to Savannah and Rosa was taking her daily siesta, Floracita filled Thistle's panniers with several little pasteboard boxes, and, without saying anything to Tulee, mounted and rode off in a direction she had never taken, except in the barouche.

There are two peaked rocks off the south-east end, one mile off shore, also a small island, bearing west five miles from the south end, not laid down in Flinders' charts. "Thistle's Island, is low at each end but high in the middle, it lays in a north-west and south-east direction.
