"You must remember it's rather overwhelming to be introduced to a famous author and think of just the right thing to say at the right moment! Isn't it, Miss Armitage?" "It is as you feel," replied Innocent, coldly. Lady Blythe rattled on gaily. "Do come and talk to me for a few moments! it will be so good of you! The garden's lovely! shall we go there?
"Let's go and see if we can't find some in these vases that are fit, for I suppose the garden's robbed." "Yes," I said, following him, quite pleased. For I could not bear to have him angry with me. I was really fond of him, dear, old Richard; and I looked so happy that I have no doubt he thought more of it than he ought.
"I took my own explosives with me, as you know some French and English rifle-cartridges and an assortment of samples from gun charges and marine mines. I planted some in the garden; the place was all pitted already with little craters from his experiments; and some, especially the mine stuff, I threw into the lake. The garden's on the edge of the lake, you know.
He raised a quick hand to the group about the table. "Gott im Himmel!" he said excitedly. "Listen, you dunderheads!" Silence fell on the group. Every glance was turned to him. He hummed softly a few bars of sweetest melody under the garden's din.... The notes stopped in a choking gasp, Schubert's hand on his throat. "Stop that!" he said hoarsely.
One of the first steps in the making of a garden should be to determine what to hide and how most gracefully to hide it. A garden is a house's garments, its fig-leaves, as we may say, and the garden's concealments, like its revelations, ought always to be in the interest of comfort, dignity, and charm. We once had a very bumptious member on our board of judges.

When, resting in their daily walk, shortened till it became a toil to reach the shady seat under the elms at the garden's end, they watched the stalwart plowmen and drovers go striding by, without a trouble behind their tanned foreheads except the thought that wages might fall a shilling a week, was there no envy, I wonder, as they looked down on the wan hands lying so listless across their knees?
We reached the Indian Garden's Camp in time for breakfast and rested an hour before going on down to the river. The trail followed a gentle descent over sand-hills and rocky plateaus at first, then suddenly it began to drop sheer in the section known as the Devil's Corkscrew.
Irby put in a stiff good-by, and as he withdrew, Hilary echoed only the same threadbare word more brightly, and was gone; saying to himself as he looked back from the garden's outmost bound: "She's cold; that's what's the matter with Anna; cold and cruel!" Tedious was the month of March.
