He knew it because he was a real person only nicer than any other person in the world. She was so happy that she scarcely dared to breathe. The flower-bed was not quite bare.

But she does not see him, neither does she see me, who with the spade in my hand am turning over the flower-bed, solely that I may see her and feel her nearness, which produces an effect on me like poetry, like music.
