Rest Harrow: A Comedy of Resolution
Hewlett, Maurice
Fiction
Very early on the morning after the night when, as has been foretold,
she was made a wife under the stars, Senhouse came back to her bedside
and put a little flower into her hand. It woke her out of her dreams;
glozed and dewy from them she looked at it, and smiled at him through
it. In grey-green leafage, dewy and downy, lay a little blossom of
delicate pink, chalice-shaped, with a lip of flushed white. Watching
him, she laid it to her lips. “My flower, our flower,” she said, and
watching him still put it deep within her bosom. “My dear one, we have
earned it.”
“'Rest-Harrow,'” said Senhouse, in a sententious mood, “'grows in any
soil.... The seed may be sown as soon as ripe, in warm, sheltered spots
out of doors.... It is a British plant.' So says Weathers, the learned.”
