"Yes, sir." "Then take this young girl to the butterfly room, which is to be hers in the future. See that everything is given to her that she needs. Set her plate opposite to mine at table.

"Well, she will receive me, at any rate."

"Where is she?" he began. "Somewhere in the grounds, as we suppose, sir." "Did you see her?" "No, sir." "Who saw her?" "The lodge-keeper's wife." This looked serious.
The crowd saw and did not condemn the action. 'It might be a liberty, said the head gardener, 'but he'd earned the right to do it. None of us could have done what he did.
