'It's MY opinion that you never think AT ALL, the Rose said in a rather severe tone.
The second one on the left, counting from the end, in the front row, was Ophelia Stubblefield, tawny and splendid as a lithesome tiger-lily. She wore white with long white kid gloves and a beflowered hat which represented the hoarded total of six weeks' wages. You would have said it was worth the money. Anybody would. In the second section rode the Rev. Wickliffe and the Rev.
'It isn't manners for us to begin, you know, said the Rose, 'and I really was wondering when you'd speak! Said I to myself, "Her face has got SOME sense in it, though it's not a clever one!" Still, you're the right colour, and that goes a long way. 'I don't care about the colour, the Tiger-lily remarked. 'If only her petals curled up a little more, she'd be all right.

The stranger said, "What a gorgeous flower you are, with your red hair, and your blue eyes that look black now, and your face with the color painted out by the white moonshine! Let me hold you under my chin, to see whether I love blood, you tiger-lily!" Then he laughed Gearson's laugh, and released her, scared and giddy.
"The first night, when I came down to dinner, in that pale green satin gown. Don't you remember?" "As if I could ever forget!" "And you thought I looked like a tiger-lily." "Did I?" "Yes, but you didn't say it and I was glad, for so many other men had said it before."
