You'll come back quite a new man to-morrow." Not till night, when the shop was closed, did Leonard return to his lodging. And when he entered the room, he was struck to the soul by the silence, by the void. Helen was gone! There was a rose-tree in its pot on the table at which he wrote, and by it a scrap of paper, on which was written, DEAR, dear brother Leonard, God bless you.
By this rose-tree stood the two young Birkenholts. Edmund Burgess having, by his master's desire, shown them the way, and passed them in by a word and sign from his master, then retired unseen to a distance to mark what became of them, they having promised also to return and report of themselves to Master Headley.
I am doing nothing, I feed the sparrows with hemp-seed and prune a rose-tree a day. After my pruning, the roses flower magnificently. I am not looking after the farming. Keep well, dear Alexandr Ivanovitch, thank you for your letter and friendly sympathy. Write to me for the sake of my infirmity, and don't blame me too much for my carelessness in correspondence.
We did not feel at all afraid to look at the corpse of her who had been such a dear, good grandmother. The hymn-book, in which the rose still lay, was placed under her head, for so she had wished it; and then they buried grandmother. On the grave, close by the churchyard wall, they planted a rose-tree; it was soon full of roses, and the nightingale sat among the flowers, and sang over the grave.
'If only it were a little pussy cat! she said. But the rose-tree with the beautiful rose came out. 'But how prettily it is made! said all the ladies-in-waiting. 'It is more than pretty, said the Emperor, 'it is charming! But the Princess felt it, and then she almost began to cry. 'Ugh! Papa, she said, 'it is not artificial, it is REAL! 'Ugh! said all the ladies-in-waiting, 'it is real!
The sun was just rising, and its red rays looked in at the window, through which the moonlight had shone the night before. Beneath the window a single rose-tree was blooming, and on it a robin was pouring out its morning song.
A straight flagged walk led up to the cool-looking old house, and my host, lingering in his progress at this rose-tree and that, forgot all about me at least twice, waking up and apologising humbly after each lapse.
Now it was certainly a little audacious of him to venture to say to the Emperor's daughter, 'Will you marry me? But he did venture to say so, for his name was known far and wide. There were hundreds of princesses who would gladly have said 'Yes, but would she say the same? Well, we shall see. On the grave of the Prince's father grew a rose-tree, a very beautiful rose-tree.
Setting it in a big brown jar full of water, he put it in the entrance hall where its shoots reached nearly to the ceiling, and Priscilla Priday exclaimed at the sight of it "Eh, eh, is the old rose-tree broken, Mister Robin! That's never happened before in all the time I've been 'ere! I don't like the looks of it! no, Mister Robin, I don't!"
But with great diligence Daisy worked and scooped, till by repeated trials she found she had the hole deep enough and large enough; and then she tenderly set the roots of the rose-tree in the prepared place and shook fine soil over them, as Logan had told her; pressing it down from time to time, until the job was finished and the little tree stood securely planted. A great feat accomplished.
