Ah, how he had loved it!
The green garden path, the tufts of flowers,purple and white columbines, and great oriental red poppies with theirblack chaps and mulleins tall and yellow, this flamy garden which hadbeen a garden for a thousand years, scooped out in the little hollowamong the snake-infested commons.
He had made it flame with flowers, in asun cup under its hedges and trees.
So old, so old a place!
