She it was who had championed his choice of a bride: and Lilámani had justified her championship to the full. But then Lilámani was one in many thousands; and this affair would be the other way about: Tara, the apple of their eye; Tara, with her wild-flower face and her temperament of clear flame ?
Grace Marley, who held this situation now, was a sweet wild-flower from the Emerald Isle, with spirits bright and changeful as the dewy skies of her own loved Erin. Her graceful but fully rounded figure shows none of those anatomical corners described by Captain Hamilton in the appearance of the native American ladies.
I recommend him to you as a model for Adonis. Ha! ha! You do not recognize the wild-flower of Kalinowice? Leon. No, I do not recognize it. Jadwiga. No! But the life flower. Leon. As a joke Jadwiga. At which one cannot laugh always. If our century was not sceptical I should think myself wild, romantic, trying to drown despair.
And what an adventure it was to walk the three versts into town, leaving a trail of perfume from the wild-flower posies we carried to our city friends! But these things did not last. The mill changed hands, and the new owner put a protégé of his own in my father's place. So, after a short breathing spell, we were driven back into the swamp of growing poverty and trouble.
The extremes of the Water-Lily in this vicinity, so far as I have known, are the eighteenth of June and the thirteenth of October, a longer range than belongs to any other conspicuous wild-flower, unless we except the Dandelion and Houstonia.
I am familiar with every wild-flower that grows, and I am now desirous of getting for our forests some seeds of the Swiss Edelweiss. If you can procure them for me I will reward you handsomely." Poor Florio heard this speech with consternation. He had never in all his life known one flower from another. Where, when, how could he go? And if he went, how should he escape Fuss?
Polychrome, her beautiful gauzy robes floating around her like a rainbow cloud, went first, dancing back and forth and darting now here to pluck a wild-flower or there to watch a beetle crawl across the path. Toto ran after her at times, barking joyously the while, only to become sober again and trot along at Dorothy's heels.
It was inevitable that unimaginative Tommy Dudgeon should at first dismiss the possibility that little wild-flower Marian should have returned in the person of the lady-secretary. But, none the less, the sight of the secretary had brought back to him the vision of little Marian as he had seen her last; and thenceforth he was supplied with matter for much perplexing thought.
'Who'll buy my roses? they're lovely and fair, They're Nature's own bloom, and are fed on fresh air. 'Oh yes! exclaimed a small Wild-flower its name I will not tell; 'oh yes! she repeated, waiting until the singer was out of hearing; 'always Roses, or Violets, or Lilies no one ever composes songs about us we are only common flowers.
I believe they don't so much as lock the house-doors at night; and the faces of the older peasantry are really very beautiful. I have done a good deal of botany, and find that wild-flower botany is more or less inexhaustible, but the cultivated flowers are infinite in their caprice.
