LING From Eden Phillpotts “The Mother” page 285 and 300 “…. she marked the structure in careless, cursory fashion, narrowed her eyes to focus the fine work, observed the brisk and wiry habit of the whole, the trim green formal foliage and the surmounting inflorescence that sprang in spires of thirty and forty flowers. These bells were now alive, but presently their petals, four in four, would die and dry and make small chimes for the ringing of the winter world. ….”
