To our ^ind Neighbours, of legate, 

 SIR HUGH <) LADY WyNDHAM 



who viewed the "Villino" garden, 

 even from the beginning, with indul- 

 gent eyes; and, with friendliest tact, 

 persisted in descrying possibilities of 

 grace in the wildest tangle, this 

 chronicle is affectionately inscribed 

 in pleasant remembrance 

 of too rare visits.
