Sitting here in my pleasaunce on the lawn, surrounded by a riot of hollyhocks, foxgloves, roses, geraniums, and other English flowers that she described so vividly, and loved so well, I find myself celebrating in my own way the hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Eliot. Lying open beside me on the garden-seat is a very well-worn copy of Janet's Repentance.
I found Varia in the garden under the apple-tree on the little garden-seat; she was wearing a dark dress, rather creased; her weary eyes, the dejected droop of her hair, seemed to express genuine suffering. I sat down beside her. We were both silent.
It was, as was fitting, the most antique, the most distinguished mansion of them all. He saw her through the bars of the stately entrance gate as she sat beside her mother, on a garden-seat, tying into nosegays the flowers that filled her lap. Stupified by the shock of the discovery, he stood rooted to the ground, letting his school-mates go on ahead of him.
'Here' was a corridor without any seats; but Vava took this command as meaning to stay out of the classroom, and she wandered off to the playground, where she sat down on a garden-seat, and looked over the subject for the next examination, feeling very irritated at Miss Briggs's dictatorial manner.

Coming to a garden-seat, he put up one foot upon it, and brushed the cigar ash against the back.
They lose sight of each other, they know nothing of one another's whereabouts; but they are all steering to one point," the sharp spirt of a fusee on the garden-seat came in here, followed by an aromatic flavour in the air, "and when they do meet, which they are certain to do in the long run," here the doctor put the pipe in his mouth, and finished his speech with it there, "the figure of the continent has become known, and may be set down in maps.
She sat on a garden-seat, tired with walking, exhausted with much thinking with the long thoughts in which a whole lifetime rises up before the mind, and is spread out like a scroll before the eyes of those who feel that Death is near. If a poet had chanced to pass along the boulevard, he would have found an interesting picture in the face of this woman, grown old before her time.
