1.
Other plants gophers hate are herbs such as tansy, peppermint, spearmint and rosemary
2.
‘What do you make of Beuno?’ I asked as he pauses to inspect a flowering plant which I vaguely recognise … rosemary?
3.
’ He said warmly, ‘You appreciate the rosemary, I see
4.
If you let the rosemary fill you with softness you can take that feeling into the church the better to enjoy its secret
5.
And on a wall in a smaller room were faded painted traces of dark fat grapes and twisting in through the window, grey old straying twists of some very lively jasmine, and even wild rosemary
6.
with rosemary planted as a hedge between the garden and the

immediately assailed with the scent of wild rosemary
9.
‘Tell me, did she carry rosemary about with her by any

‘Ah – it was the rosemary

when Jacob mentioned the scent of rosemary and Anne
12.
I tossed the phone into the rosemary hedge and

the rosemary, garlic, thyme and tomatoes filled the

I thing that's why he called me Rosemary
15.
Rosemary folded the letter quickly and stuffed it in an envelope and sealed it
16.
The battle with Rosemary
17.
He'd call on Rosemary, pass an hour, have a coffee and try to sort out the disastrous misunderstanding from last night
18.
And it was only a few hours! He was still annoyed at Rosemary for telling Aisling she was his cousin
19.
For all her peculiarities; for all their misunderstandings; for all his uncertainties, he was fond, very fond, of Rosemary
20.
He recalled Rosemary saying once how white walls showed up to advantage everything in the room
21.
! Good God Rosemary
22.
Yes Rosemary Carr had been admitted
23.
Even though it wasn't an official visiting time Jack had no trouble getting to see Rosemary
24.
He could see Rosemary right away
25.
Rosemary seemed to be sleeping
26.
Rosemary rarely had the same expression on her face for two minutes in a row
27.
Rosemary seemed to sense his presence
28.
But Rosemary had pushed herself up and she had seen it
29.
He waited, wondering if the woman knew Rosemary, and that she didn't have a brother
30.
The disarray in the bed-sit didn't have the same effect on him as it had earlier, knowing now that Rosemary was safe
31.
Rosemary must have made a mistake
32.
Rosemary must have flung it under together with the knife
33.
If Rosemary wanted him to read it then, he would
34.
First he tackled the sink where Rosemary had been sick
35.
Rosemary might want to mend some of them? He shrugged
36.
Rosemary noticed it and dropped her coyness
37.
He didn't know and Rosemary didn't know
38.
In that, Rosemary had been right
39.
He looked at Rosemary, lying there
40.
Rosemary dropped the handbag over the side of the bed
41.
Rosemary shook the letter at him as if it was a nasty insect that had crawled up onto the bed and she wanted rid of it, now, disposed of, dead
42.
On the way out he was thinking that Rosemary was a strange fish indeed
43.
It seemed, that all Rosemary wanted was, for someone to be there
44.
He didn't know what clothes Rosemary wanted so he picked out the brightest garments he could find; he was surprised at the quality of the garments
45.
Rosemary, he thought, could look a stunner when she had a mind to
46.
He could go back to Doc's and get some spare sheets if Rosemary didn't have any
47.
He was excited by the prospect of Rosemary coming back
48.
Rosemary had said once that she didn't believe in 'love'
49.
But what if they decided that they wanted to be down a hole, that they wanted to be 'in' love! That it was their choice, to be in love or down a hole if both were the same thing? No, Rosemary had said, you don't understand what I mean
50.
Then Rosemary had related a story she had been reading
51.
When he arrived at the hospital he checked with the Receptionist to make sure Rosemary was still in the same ward
52.
He had a feeling that Rosemary was definitely not going to appear
53.
Rosemary had no clothes
54.
Rosemary had said to read it
55.
Would the contents explain anything to him? Would it explain Rosemary?
56.
Rosemary surveyed the ward
57.
The girl eyed Rosemary suspiciously
58.
buy them,' Rosemary almost shouted
59.
Rosemary rummaged in her hand bag
60.
Rosemary rolled the money up in a ball and threw it on the girl's bed
61.
Rosemary was afraid to look towards the door, afraid a nurse might look in and try to stop her
62.
Hold the door! Rosemary cried out in her head
63.
Rosemary stumbled in and pressed the ground floor button, then the little reserve of energy that had got her this far evaporated and she slumped exhausted to the floor
64.
' Rosemary had told Jack once about her aunt Shelagh, that day at the end of summer when they were sitting in the window seat of the little coffee bar in a busy side street, watching the shoppers milling about with large carrier bags from the end-of-season sales
65.
It had been a hot summer, but Rosemary was as pale as ever
66.
Rosemary didn't often smoke, but when she did she bought what she referred to as, exotic brands
67.
Rosemary had said that she needed something; a break, a holiday, a new wardrobe of clothes, something, anything, but as she couldn't afford much, she would settle for something cheaper
68.
Rosemary was in a light mood that day
69.
They were chatting about nothing in particular when Rosemary began talking about her aunt
70.
Rosemary lapsed into silence again, remembering
71.
It was as if Rosemary saw her aunt in this way
72.
Rosemary was no saint and he was sure her aunt wasn't one either
73.
She was flesh and blood like anyone else but the way Rosemary spoke about her, Jack was certain Shelagh was Rosemary's heroine - her saviour; the counter balance to her parents strict Roman Catholic upbringing
74.
Jack was wondering why Rosemary always seemed to want to attack him when he was being light-hearted
75.
The Rosemary he saw when she was talking about her aunt was a very different Rosemary to what he was used to
76.
He felt - suspected - knew there was another Rosemary
77.
A wonderful Rosemary
78.
The Rosemary that he felt sometimes he loved
79.
Rosemary had remarked that of course he had a future
80.
As they strolled along Rosemary slipped her hand through Jack's arm
81.
Trying to grasp at the reality of the Rosemary he did not know
82.
Rosemary wouldn't point the finger
83.
Poor Rosemary, she had not struck out at her violator then, and she couldn't bring herself to strike at him, even now
84.
As the figure staggered towards her, her initial instinct was to take a step backwards, as if from an attacker, but in that instant she recognized her niece and caught her as Rosemary fell into her arms
85.
She kissed and hugged her and reassured her that she was in safe hands before hurrying to fill a hot mustard bath, so that within minutes Rosemary was stripped and soaking to bring some warmth back to her chilled bones
86.
Within minutes of her head touching the pillow, Rosemary was deep in sleep
87.
Rosemary spent the following two days in bed; the daytime in fitful sleep and the nights crowded with nightmares
88.
'You must be thirsty?' Rosemary nodded
89.
Rosemary grasped the glass and drank in huge gulps
90.
'Be careful' She said, taking the glass from Rosemary
91.
She seemed to be genuinely glad to have Rosemary tucked up in bed in her house
92.
By the time Rosemary had finished a bowl of the delicious stew, Shelagh had the bath filled
93.
She wrapped Rosemary in a warm dressing gown and helped her to the bathroom
94.
Rosemary couldn't remember how she had found the house after getting off the bus
95.
During dinner Rosemary felt compelled to offer an explanation as to why she had suddenly turned up on her aunts door-step
96.
But it was more how Rosemary talked more than what she actually said that interested her aunt
97.
The references to her father and a man called Jack she filed away for a later time, when she felt Rosemary would be better
98.
When she came back Rosemary was still feeling somewhat exposed, having opened up her bag of troubles in front of her aunt
99.
Rosemary was wearing a long velvet skirt in green and gold mottled colours and a dark green knitted jumper
100.
She had told Rosemary after her father's funeral that she was welcome to come and visit whenever she wanted
