82 RIVERSIDE LETTERS X 



the lawn slopes away, I have a thick hedge of 

 lavender, it grows bulging out, and covers a 

 sloping bit of grass which used to be rather 

 difficult to mow. 



This arrangement of mine meets with more 

 approbation from visitors than anything else 

 in my garden, whilst the roses, the trellis and 

 the lavender afford me constant satisfaction 

 from the sense of permanence they give the 

 place.
