I know I'm like an old gipsy woman." "You look charming," I said, "in that old bonnet." She put down the watering-can and laughingly took it from her head. "It is a regular show." "Not at all.
Angela longed and longed for a pitcher. Poppy wanted a penny watering-can, painted bright red inside, and green out. Penelope wanted a book and some sweets, and Esther a money-box, that she might begin to save at once. "Do let's go inside," whispered Penelope. "There may be lots of other things inside."
On the walls were rosaries, medals, a number of Holy Virgins, and a holy-water basin made out of a cocoanut; on the bureau, which was covered with a napkin like an altar, stood the box of shells that Victor had given her; also a watering-can and a balloon, writing-books, the engraved geography and a pair of shoes; on the nail which held the mirror, hung Virginia's little plush hat!
"I wouldn't mind letting you out," said the Gardener. "But I mustn't open the door for children. D'you think I'd disobey the Rules? Not for one-and-sixpence!" The Professor cautiously produced a couple of shillings. "That'll do it!" the Gardener shouted, as he hurled the watering-can across the flower-bed, and produced a handful of keys one large one, and a number of small ones.

Launcelot came sauntering and waving his watering-can.

For there, on the red-tiled floor of the conservatory, lay an overturned watering-can, whose contents had formed a muddy puddle, in which were about a dozen broken pots just as they had been knocked down from the stand, the bulbs snapped, beautiful trusses of blossom shivered and crushed, and the whole display ruined by the gap made in its midst.
