Excellent lobster! But how he changes colour at being caught and boiled! Such a breakfast! Something spicy at last. Rather! The "Umbrella-tree" magnificent! Spreads out in wet weather, and folds up when it's fine. No time to spare, however off again to the Grantully Castle, with pockets full of fruits of all kinds. Must take care not to sit on them in boat.
John Wingfield, Sr. sat for hours under Dr. Patterson's umbrella-tree in moody absorption. He talked to all who would talk to him. Always he was asking about the duel in the arroyo which was fought in Jack's way. He could not hear enough of it; and later he almost attached himself to the one eye-witness of the final duel, which had been fought in Leddy's way.
The gold of the gin-gee, the reds of the flame-tree, the umbrella-tree, and of the single and double hibiscus are reflected from his shining feathers, as he flutters and darts among the blooms, often sipping on the wing after the habit of the humming-bird which he resembles even to the characteristic expansion of the tail feathers.
While the flame-tree few and confined to the beaches flashes into bloom an improvident blaze of colour, without a single atoning green leaf the umbrella-tree charms for several months with a combination of graceful foliage and a unique corollary of singular flowers.
Her sunburned cheeks were flaming red when she finally reached the Wigwam, and the locks of hair straggling down her forehead hung in limp wet strings. Lifting the snake carefully across the bridge which spanned the irrigating canal, she trailed it into the yard and toward the umbrella-tree which shaded the rustic front porch.
I'd do lots more than this to keep the Princess from being ashamed of me." Then she put it away and went out to the hammock, under the umbrella-tree, and while she sat swinging back and forth for a long happy hour, she pictured to herself the delights of the coming house-party. The Princess would be changed, she knew. Her last photograph showed that.
The red rays of the Umbrella-tree afford a rich setting to the scene. The rival lovers twirl and twist and reel as she the prude flits with tremulous wings from red knob to red knob daintily sampling the spangles of nectar.
