I would not perhaps have noticed many trifles in my step-family, had I not been so much made of, so overloved, caressed and independent before my marriage. Every gardener prunes the roots of a tree before it is transplanted, but no one had ever pruned me. If you have been sunned through and through like an apricot on a wall from your earliest days, you are over-sensitive to any withdrawal of heat.
The stump was there, a bit lower and more worn at the crevices, leaking sawdust like an overloved doll but the low shrub had become a tall sapling, the weeds vervain, boneset, velvet-leaf all had been topped and killed off by dense-foliaged bushes and shrubs, which a year before had not raised a leaf above the meadow level.
