They are what she told me my first week, when I was crying in the scullery over the price of a brush. Everything round me will be made lovely, she said, and that will be my living. I took it for a rich woman's nonsense. I do not think so now.

Come at Michaelmas and see it. Bring your spectacles, for the vines are small and I am proud of them.
