HE Guest Book lying open in The Lodge of the Diimb 

 Porter promised, you will remember, that there 

 should be cold frames at the foot of the garden, in 

 which were to be preserved evidence of whence the flowers had 

 been brought and who first planted and watered them, so that 

 you might satisfy every wish for exact information. Here 

 are the frames, accessible but out of the way as a good cold 

 frame should be. Look them through, help yoiurselves and 

 please close the covers down when you have finished, as I 

 think it will be a chilly night. ^
