"Truly, father, I never will be selfish any more." One day Mr. Washington went into the garden and dug a little bed of earth and prepared it for seed. He then took a stick and traced on the bed George's name in full. After this he strewed the tracing thickly with seeds, and smoothed all over nicely with his roller. This garden-bed he purposely prepared close to a gooseberry-walk.
'Any commands, your honour? 'You bring the countess to my lord immediately, said Gower. Kit swallowed his mouthful of surprise in a second look at Madge and the ploughed garden-bed beneath the chamber window. 'Are the orders written, sir? 'To me? for me to deliver to you? for you to do my lord's bidding? Where's your head? Kit's finger-nails travelled up to it. Madge pushed past him.
All at once, as it were, rich people all over Holland found themselves with nothing in the world except a pocket full or a garden-bed full of flower roots that nobody would buy and that were not good to eat, and would not have made more than one tureen of soup if they were. Of course this state of things caused innumerable bankruptcies, quarrels, and refusals to complete bargains, everywhere.
When Gaston, after a brief absence, was unable to find his child's garden-bed, that was only because in a fine June the corn had grown tall so quickly, through which he was presently led to it, with all its garish sweets undisturbed: and it was with the ancient growths of mind customs, beliefs, mental preferences as with the natural world.
Under the sun-soaked wall ran a narrow strip of garden-bed full of mignonette and pansies, and from the bees came a low hum in which all other sounds were set the mooing of a cow deprived of her calf, the calling of a cuckoo from an elm-tree at the bottom of the meadow.
The month of August passed, and, after all these delays, they decided that it was to be irrevocably fixed for the 4th September a Monday. At length the Saturday before arrived. Rodolphe came in the evening earlier than usual. "Everything is ready?" she asked him. "Yes." Then they walked round a garden-bed, and went to sit down near the terrace on the curb-stone of the wall.
They looked down from their car-window on a young lady swinging in a hammock, in her door-yard, and on an old gentleman hoeing his potatoes; a group of girls waved their handkerchiefs to the passing train, and a boy paused in weeding a garden-bed, and probably denied that he had paused, later.
Now you know very well that there are no less than fifty-eight different pieces in a violin. These pieces are strangers to each other, and it takes a century, more or less, to make them thoroughly acquainted. At last they learn to vibrate in harmony, and the instrument becomes an organic whole, as if it were a great seed-capsule that had grown from a garden-bed in Cremona, or elsewhere.

I saw a garden-bed on which there grew, Low down amid gay grass, a violet, With flame of poppy flickering over it, And many gaudy spikes and blossoms new, Round which the wind with amorous whispers blew. There came a maid, gold-haired and lithe and strong, With limbs whereof the delicate perfumed flesh Was like a babe's.
