In the set teeth, in the clouded face, in the half-articulate exclamations that shot from time to time from the compressed lips, it was easy to see that the thoughts of the young horticulturist were far from his work.
"Not Pretty, But Precious"
John Hay, et al.

"Through the Malay Archipelago"
Emily Richings

"The Lesser Bourgeoisie"
Honore de Balzac
