The baskets were all decked with evergreen and holly, and made an imposing looking row. Meantime King and Midget and Kitty were packing into boxes the toys and pretty trifles that they had made or bought.
Protected from the high winds, these trees yield abundantly; and, in the fertile soil of these plots, two or three crops of vegetables are raised each year. Much of the land was rocky and uncultivated. Very few trees were seen and those were dwarfed. One species of evergreen tree, called the Carob, grew only ten feet in height, but spread to three times that in breadth.
To scramble down by the ivy-branches was the work of a moment, and the two cats were soon hidden behind some low evergreen bushes that grew in front of the wall. 'Now lie quiet here, said Friskarina, 'till I come and call you. So saying, she scampered off through the snow towards the palace.

So we decided they were, or rather it was the caper plant, and while Schillie felicitated herself upon having settled that matter satisfactorily, she groaned over the notion of our having no boiled mutton. The next thing we discovered was a bright green shrub, apparently an evergreen, with bunches of white flowers, which were sweet scented.
