The permission was granted: the multitude in order, each file under a chief and each commander of the files obedient to a superior officer, then made a progress through the beautiful gardens of their beautiful hostess. They even passed through the forcing houses and vineries.
Of course a marriage with you, looked at from a common-sense point of view, would be about the worst thing that could happen to my wife's daughter. But then, you see, the worst of it is, a man seldom comes to vineries and pineries at Tulse-hill till he is on the shady side of forty; and as I am not in favour of mercenary marriages, I don't care to force any of my City connection upon poor Lotta.
In the Brisbane district many kinds of excellent table grapes are now grown, which meet with a ready sale, such as the well-known Black Hamburgh of English vineries, the Sweetwater, Snow's Muscat Hamburgh, Royal Ascot, &c., as well as all the better kinds of American grapes, such as Iona, Goethe, Wilder, &c. A little wine is made, but more attention is given to table fruit.
The fruit gardens and vineries belonging to "Bournville Hall" are used for the benefit of work-people who are ill. Turning back again, we find on the other side of the road a magnificent pavilion, the Coronation gift of the firm to their employees, which overlooks the broad level stretch of one of the finest cricket grounds in the Midlands.

What she could do with it, if it were only hers!
And all the time there was the worst of all to be hidden from everybody concerning Raffles and me! Meanwhile I explored a system of flower-houses and vineries that ran out from the conservatory in a continuous chain each link with its own temperature and its individual scent and not a pane but rattled and streamed beneath the timely torrent.
"Understands the vineries very well though," Lord Fallowfeild was saying; "and doesn't grow bad peaches, not at all bad peaches, but is stupid about flowers. He ought to retire. Never shall have really satisfactory gardens till he does retire. And yet I haven't the heart to tell him to go. Good fellow, you know, good, honest, hard-working fellow, and had a lot of trouble.
Fine suite of reception-rooms, ballroom. Lovely garden, with trout-stream intersecting' heavenly. 'There are vineries, peach-houses, greenhouses, and pits' what do you do with pits?" "Keep bears in them, of course," said Jock, and added vaguely "bear baiting, you know." "It isn't usual to keep bears," David pointed out.
