I'm going to begin this very minute, Kathleen." And he descended the terrace steps, entered the garden, and, seating himself under a rose-tree, spread out his paraphernalia and began a delicate and cautious burrowing process in the sun-dried soil. "Fame is hidden under humble things," observed Geraldine with a resolute effort at lightness.
Then she rolled her long chair near the window, drew a little table within reach of her hand, and placed upon it the big bottle of chloroform beside a handful of wadding. A great rose-tree covered with flowers, climbing as high as her window, exhaled in the night a soft and gentle perfume, in light breaths; and she stood for a moment enjoying it.
Rue felt that argument would be wasted. They both stood silent for a moment. The gardener did not eulogize his prize, the rose-tree was gorgeous and any one could see it. "I will take the pansies," said the girl, and drew two francs from a worn purse. Then she looked up.

In the midst of a garden grew a rose-tree, in full blossom, and in the prettiest of all the roses lived an elf.
'And he has actually got one of my best blooms, exclaimed the White Rose-Tree. 'I gave it to the Infanta this morning myself, as a birthday present, and he has stolen it from her. And she called out: 'Thief, thief, thief! at the top of her voice.
