Sympathy Is Charming, But It Does Not

On One Night Of My Debut The Prince Of Wales, The Princess, And The Duchess Of London Came To See Me. They Loved Me For What I Was And What I Gave Them.

My Agent Tells Me I Am Drawing The Largest Salary Ever Paid In The Halls Of England. Wonderful, Isn't It? For A Quiet, Rural Gardener Like Myself.

A Complete Transformation Seemed To Have Place In My Life Overnight. It Was Quite Staggering, And Thenceforward Visitors And Invitations Continued To Pour In Daily Until They Became A Source Of Grievance To Our Landlady, Who Was Obliged To Engage An Extra Servant To Respond To The Battering Of Powdered Footmen On Her Humble And Somewhat Flimsy Door.

I Am A Grandmother Now, And That Means Age Is Creeping On, Creeping On.

The Most Lasting And Pure Gladness Comes To Me From My Gardens.
