Thereupon ensued such a busy time! especially as old Turner and two of his under-gardeners came up for directions, and Mr. King went off with them. So for the next hour Polly seemed to be on wings, here, there, and everywhere, and breathing only the sweet fragrance of the flowers.
James Ellis went straight to the gardens, and had no difficulty in finding Daniel Barnett, whose voice he heard sounding loud, though smothered, in the closely-shut orchid-house, where he was abusing one of the under-gardeners. "I don't care I don't believe it," he cried angrily, as Ellis opened the door slowly; and then came: "Hi! What idiot's that?
A thick gold chain is displayed across his waistcoat, attached to an expensive gold watch, bought for him by his supposed father. He carries in his hand a natty cane, and struts along with head aloft and nose in the air. Two under-gardeners are at work upon a flowerbed as he passes. "What time is it, Master Philip?" says one, a boy about a year older than Jonas.
He worked incessantly for others, though these 'others' were only flowers and cabbages and fruit-trees. He did his share in the world, he and his army of queer assistants, the under-gardeners. Peals of laughter, too, sounded from time to time in a far away corner of the cavern, and the laughter sent all the stuff it reached into very delicate, embroidered patterns.
One of the under-gardeners, working near the house, had seen the master, and told the guest where to go. Monsieur Caird was giving medicine to the white peacock, who was not well, and in the stable-yard Nevill was found, in the act of pouring something down the peacock's throat with a spoon. When he heard what Stephen had to say, he looked very grave.
Get your hat and come out into the garden. We are not likely to be disturbed there at this hour in the morning." As we stepped out on to the lawn, one of the under-gardeners a mere lad passed us on his way to the house, with a letter in his hand. Miss Halcombe stopped him. "Is that letter for me?" she asked.
Henry Douglass, descending the staircase slowly and thoughtfully at eight o'clock, asked Rutley whether Miss Higham was in the drawing-room. Rutley answered that the young lady and Mr. Mills had gone. Walked to Cholsey to catch the evening train to town. One of the under-gardeners carried their luggage. "Quite thought you knew, sir," mentioned Rutley.
Stood with their hats off all in the burnin' sun, and went back to look at the grave when the funeral was over." "The household servants was there leastways the butler and footman," said Tom Burney, a dark-eyed, gipsy-looking young man, who was one of the under-gardeners at the big house on the hill, "but not him as is coming after."
He was found out and forgiven at the same time. Then came the very mysterious figure of authority the Head Gardener, a composite being who included all the lesser under-gardeners as well. His sunburned face presented a resume of them all. He was the man who burned the hills of dead leaves in autumn.
'Why, they took nouns that were signs of things which gave evidence of wealth, housekeepers, under-gardeners, extent of glass, valuable lace, diamonds, and all such things; and each one formed her speech so as to bring them all in, in the prettiest accidental manner possible. 'You will be as proud of your one servant when you get her, if all is true about her that Mrs. Thornton says.
