But in a moment he only drew Louie closer, and kissed her more passionately, and sat there caressing her the more tenderly while they listened to a thrush that had built in the garden thicket, mistaking it for the wood, so near the town's edge was it, and so still and sunny was the garden all day long with its odors of southernwood and mint and balm; and he delayed there longer, holding her as if now at least she was his own, whatever she might be thereafter.
"Not Pretty, But Precious"
John Hay, et al.
The sweet-briar and cabbage-roses and southernwood filled the caravan with their fragrance.
"A Peep Behind the Scenes"
Mrs. O. F. Walton
