Covent Garden Flow*rs, Thursday

Oct 23, 2008 10:02

Today, the E in the sign was made with wire and lilac-pink tea-roses, and Eliza, pleased enough with the effect to forgo her crossness with 'regrettably unavoidable shipping delays,' was behind the counter partaking in a cup of complementary beverage. There was a full pot ready, in fact, and she was perfectly willing to share.

Mary turned up at some point with her list. She hadn't been in the new flower shop yet, but was happy to see another local business that would save her a trip to the mainland.

"Hello," she said. "I was interested in getting a few flower arrangements for the hotel lobby."

"Hello, how do you do!" Eliza stood up with a wide smile, surreptitiously brushing tea-cake crumbs off her skirt. "For the week-end? I'm told we'll be getting quite a few visitors."

"More than just a few, if the numbers are anything like last year," said Mary, smiling. "And I like to have fresh flowers to greet them in the lobby, plus a few more arrangements for some special guests."

You don't know where those tea leaves have been. Besides presumably Sri Lanka.

A rose by any other name
Would get the blame
For being what it is
The color of a kiss
The shadow of a flame.

A rose may earn another name
So call it love.
So call it love I will
And love is like the sea
Which changes constantly
And yet is still the same.

Who can tell where love will lead us,
Love the color of the rose.
Love, the ever-sounding bell.
Does she summon to a close?
To the gorgeous gates of hell?
Ah, who knows, who knows.

Jane, Jaen, Jain. The sound of falling rain, like a chain.

... Must pull that out and read it again.
