I saw to it that I should be for a moment alone 
among the marigolds. Thinking kindly of those 
two other flowers, which I felt almost certain 
now would win me the girl I felt I could love, I 
exulted. Dear old Gerard, he said it was called 
Calendula as it is to be seene to flower in the 
calends of almost everie month. I turned the 
strong searchlights of my eyes upon the orange 
tinted documents. But I could not read them. 
My eyes, or something, were not good enough. 
And yet I was not among those who attempt, 
ek parergou, to confound ephphatha with epea 
pteroenta. You would have noticed my oriental 
preference when I smoke, and would not have 
been surprised that my Indian tobacco, after a 
scant four-and-twenty hours, was doing 
excellent work. It seemed almost certain that 
the blight would be destroyed : the blight on 
the May, or on the delight that is as wide-eyed 
as a marigold.
