WATER-LILIES
A Party of people, youth and old man he/she sat on the plaza of a beach
I lodge a morning in summer, discussing plain for the day as them
waited for the mail.
"Hullo! here it comes to Christie Johnstone", one exclaimed of the young one
men roosted on the handrail with that you/he/she was poisoning the fresh air the

color deepened in its cheeks and its footstep him hasty. The boy,
however he/she returned the looks bent on him, and he/she answered to the smiles
with such happy sneer that the youth with the cigarette has called
out,--
"Good-morning, Heads! Where does he/she greet from?"
