 At the close of a long, warm afternoon Betty Vanderpoel came out upon the square stone terrace overlooking the gardens, and that part of the park which, enclosing them, caused them, as they melted into its greenness, to lose all limitations and appear to be only a more blooming bit of the landscape.
 
Upon the garden Betty's eyes dwelt, as she stood still for some minutes taking in their effect thoughtfully.
 
Kedgers had certainly accomplished1 much. His close-trimmed lawns did him credit, his flower beds were flushed and azured, purpled and snowed with bloom. Sweet tall spires2, hung with blue or white or rosy3 flower bells, lifted their heads above the colour of lower growths. Only the fervent4 affection, the fasting and prayer of a Kedgers could have done such wonders with new things and old. The old ones he had cherished and allured5 into a renewal7 of existence—the new ones he had so coaxed8 out of their earthen pots into the soil, luxuriously9 prepared for their reception, and had afterwards so nourished and bedewed with soft waterings, so supported, watched over and adored that they had been almost unconscious of their transplanting. Without assistants he could have done nothing, but he had been given a sufficient number of under gardeners, and had even managed to inspire them with something of his own ambition and solicitude10. The result was before Betty's eyes in an aspect which, to such as knew the gardens well,—the Dunholms, for instance,—was astonishing in its success.
 
“I've had privileges, miss, and so have the flowers,” Kedgers had said warmly, when Miss Vanderpoel had reported to him, for his encouragement, Dunholm Castle's praise. “Not one of 'em has ever had to wait for his food and drink, nor to complain of his bed not being what he was accustomed to. They've not had to wait for rain, for we've given it to 'em from watering cans, and, thank goodness, the season's been kind to 'em.”
