A remarkable specimen of floral effulgence entered into competition at the recent All-Tarant Flower Show & Garden Exposition has roused much comment among visitors.
Named "elojian's Tullan Blossom," the flower resembles an orchid of alizarin crimson petals edged with bright yellow. Yet in marked contrast to the well-loved Tarantian orchid, this strange flower is said to exude a heady and penetrating aroma, which fragrance somehow evoked for many visitors memories of their vigorous youth. Those visitors most strongly affected were heard to assert that such an effect could only come of magickal arts.
The bloom was the debut entry of Mrs. Florence Willoughsby, wife of the Chairman of the Tarantian Council. Far from dismissing speculation on possible magickal elements in the plant's nature, Mrs. Willoughsby seemed actively to encourage it, say onlookers.
After a number of female visitors, upon sniffing the Tullan Blossom, were seen to exit the show with florid complexions and fluttering fans, judges from the Tarantian Ladies' Garden Committee, organizers of the Exposition, informally requested that Mrs. Willoughsby withdraw her entry. The lady complied at once and in fact deserted the hall, though (witnesses indicate) not without barbed rejoinders.
Mrs. Willoughsby, those of long memory may recall, is no stranger to scandal. Some dozen years ago she created an uproar in polite society when she openly boasted of distant elvish ancestry. The Hon. Mr. Willoughsby later publicly retracted the curious claim on his wife's behalf, citing a delirium brought on by the lady's accidental ingestion of imported herbs. Mrs. Willoughsby embarked on a Grand Tour for her health and has only recently returned to society.}作者: zfj1028 时间: 2008-12-19 10:38

在近来的全塔伦特花卉园艺展览会上,比赛中一种非比寻常的花卉样品激起来访者众多评论。
该花卉被称作“Pelojian's Tullan Blossom”,是类似于一种有茜草色素般的深红色花瓣且带有亮黄色边的兰花。但是与受人喜爱的塔伦特兰花相比,有人说这种奇怪的花卉会散发一种令人陶醉而且有渗透性的香味,该芳香通过某种方式唤起了许多来访者关于他们精力充沛青春年华的记忆。听说受到最严重影响的那些来访者声称这样的效果只能来自于魔法之艺术。
该花卉首次露面是由塔伦特议会主席的妻子Florence Willoughsby带来参赛的。Willoughsby夫人,完全不顾对植物性质中可能的魔法元素的猜测,似乎对它信心十足,旁观者们如是说道。
在看到一些女性来访者闻过Tullan Blossom面带绯红乱摇扇子离开展览后,来自展览会组织者塔伦特女士园艺委员会的评委们,非正式的要求Willoughsby夫人撤回她的参赛作品。该位女士立刻遵命,但是事实上(见证人指出)尖刻回答着离开了大厅。
对于那些记忆力好的人们来说可能会想起Willoughsby夫人是丑事的常客了。数年前
当她公然吹嘘遥远的精灵血统时,她就在上流社会造成了一阵骚动。Willoughsby先生后来公开收回他妻子奇怪的说法,声称这是他夫人偶然摄取的进口草本所导致的胡话。Willoughsby夫人开始了一次健康巡游而且近来刚刚返回社交界。}作者: zfj1028 时间: 2008-12-19 11:46
