On the same floor, on the other side, at the other end, is my father's office. A white wooden table, a mahogany portfolio, a decanter on the mantelpiece: his office when he was a young man. Our entire fortune came from that place." Through the sand-covered paths between the flowerbeds they walked to the boxwood hedge which bordered the park on the southern side.
As they went up and down the gravel paths between the flowerbeds, the white and yellow butterflies kept darting before them, and the pigeons were washing their pink feet at the drip and crooning in their husky bass. Over and over again Wunsch made her say the lines to him. "You see it is nothing. If you learn a great many of the LIEDER, you will know the German language already.
Incomparably docile under our nursing, the cabbage has given its all for our nourishment and that of our cattle: its leaves, its flowers, its buds, its stalk, its root; all that it now wants is to combine the ornamental with the useful, to smarten itself, to adorn our flowerbeds and cut a good figure on a drawing-room table.
Jimmy Bean, at his Saturday morning task of pulling up the first little green weeds of the flowerbeds, sat up with ears and eyes wide open. "Walk! Pollyanna!" John Pendleton was saying. "What do you mean?" "I mean that from what I can hear and learn a mile from her bedside that her case is very much like one that a college friend of mine has just helped.
Only the bees hummed drowsily about the flowerbeds, and the voice of a lad was heard calling from the slopes of meadow on the far side of the creek. She returned to Captain Willoughby. "You can go now," she said. "I cannot pretend friendship for you, Captain Willoughby, but it was kind of you to find me out and tell me your story. You are going back at once to Kingsbridge?

He descended into the garden, but no one came to meet him; and he understood now from the uncut grass upon the lawn, the tangled disorder of the flowerbeds, that no one would come. He mounted his horse again, and rode back at a sharp trot. In Ramelton he stopped at the inn, gave his horse to the ostler, and ordered lunch for himself. He said to the landlady who waited upon him:
Then she set to work eating the pieces of mushroom till she was about fifteen inches high: then she walked down the little passage: and then she found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flowerbeds and the cool fountains. A large rose tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red.
Wax?" I asked. "Kind gentleman," he answered, "my profession before financial ruin overwhelmed me was that of a landscape gardener." This was, indeed, a marvellously pleasing coincidence. Here was the very man I needed. "Take up the barrow, Mr. Wax, and follow me," said I. I showed him where I wanted the flowerbeds made the circular, the square, and the oblong.
