    About this ebook

    Bride Roses by William Dean Howells is a wonderful, light play about a florist who has to put together a lovely bouquet for a wedding. Excerpt: "A Lady, entering the florist's with her muff to her face, and fluttering gayly up to the counter, where the florist stands folding a mass of loose flowers in a roll of cotton batting: "Good morning, Mr. Eichenlaub! Ah, put plenty of cotton around the poor things, if you don't want them frozen stiff! You have no idea what a day it is, here in your little tropic."

Ah, put plenty of cotton round the poor things, if you don't want them frozen stiff! You have no idea what a day it is, here in your little tropic. She takes away her muff as she speaks, but gives each of her cheeks a final pressure with it, and holds it up with one hand inside as she sinks upon the stool before the counter.

      The Florist: Dropic? With icepergs on the wintows? He nods his head toward the frosty panes, and wraps a sheet of tissue-paper around the cotton and the flowers.

      The Lady: But you are not near the windows. Back here it is midsummer!

      The Florist: Yes, we got a rhevricherator to keep the rhoces from sunstroke. He crimps the paper at the top, and twists it at the bottom
