"You want some flowers," he said, going to the nearest florist's. She followed him in silence. He bought her a bunch of scarlet, brick-red carnations. She put them in her coat, flushing. "That's a fine colour!" he said. "I'd rather have had something softer," she said. He laughed. "Do you feel like a blot of vermilion walking down the street?" he said.
On finishing their coffee the young men lighted cigars and sallied forth for a stroll along the bank of the river, which they followed to the confluence of the Rhone with the Arve, stopping on the way to leave an order at a florist's. Returning to the hotel some time after mid-day, they found the flowers awaiting them in Lynde's parlor, where a servant was already laying the cloth.
Driving first to a florist's, he purchased roses for the nurse; then, stopping at a tobacconist's, he left a generous order for all the occupants of the ward. After that he went directly to the American Consul's office and made arrangements for his return to New York.
"I left Sedgwick on the six o'clock train. On my way to the station I stopped at a florist's and ordered some roses sent to Miss Lloyd. If they did not arrive until she was at dinner, they were not sent immediately, as the florist promised." "When did you receive them, Miss Lloyd?"
Then, as if to change the subject, "Did you see old Jamie after he left, yesterday?" "I think I caught him in a florist's, buying flowers," answered Harley. "Buying flowers!" The old gentleman burst into such a roar that the passers in the crowded street stopped there to look at him, and went down town the merrier for it. "At a florist's! But what were you doing?" he closed, with sudden gravity.
I've got something a thousand per cent better." "She ought to've come through with it at the start-off," grumbled Griffith. But he gladly accompanied his friend to the bedroom. In the morning Blake awoke from a profound natural sleep, clear-eyed and clear-brained. His first act was to telephone to a florist's to send their largest crimson amaryllis to Miss Genevieve Leslie.
"These are what I like," said Ruth, smiling, as the footman passed a small bowl of sugared rose-leaves and crisp green candied mint leaves. "Take some, Terence. They're better for you than liqueurs. Help yourself." "They are good," and Fibsy obeyed her. "They taste like goin' into a florist's shop." "So they do," agreed Ruth, herself taking a goodly portion. "Rubbish," said Rhoda.
Would it harm the British soldier, think you, if in his kit there was a Gebetbuch fuer Soldaten? In broad essentials the marryings and givings in marriage of India nowadays do not greatly differ from these natural phenomena at home; but to use a florist's phrase, they are more inclined to "sport."
The conductor went out into the snow to help the nurse, who was assisting the old gentleman to the ground. Then the car swung on again. Jim turned up the collar of his coat about his ears and stamped his feet. There was the florist's shop where he had meant to buy the violets, and the toy-shop was just around the corner. A thought flashed across his tired brain.
There was a florist's shop in Southampton Row, and I went there every morning for a little flower which I wore in the breast of my bodice, making believe to myself that Martin had given it to me.
