Elizabeth von Arnim Quotes
The labour of digging
and watering, the anxious zeal with which I
pounced on weeds, the poring over gardening

eye of faith on the trim surface so soon to be
gemmed with a thousand flowers, the reckless
expenditure of pfennings^ the humiliation of my
position in regard to Fraulein Wundermacher,
all, all had been in vain.
