From the library
There were big yellow and white and blue and purple blossoms, besides great clusters of scarlet poppies, which were so brilliant in color they almost dazzled Dorothy’s eyes.
They now came upon more and more of the big scarlet poppies, and fewer and fewer of the other flowers; and soon they found themselves in the midst of a great meadow of poppies.
But day by day passed away, and they still saw nothing before them but the scarlet fields.
I might not have gone but for you, and so have missed the finest study I ever came across: a study in scarlet, eh?
