WE will now retrace our steps to the well I told you 

 we had made in the centre of the garden, and just 

 see if there is anything we forgot to notice as we 

 went down the Flower Walk. 



Looking out on our right we can discern the blue hazy 

 line of the Danish coast. That is an enchanting back- 

 ground to the " vista " (as the Italians say), the long 

 garden borders being edged with nasturtium. Could one 

 imagine anything more beautiful when the nasturtium 

 stands in its glory ? Old cherry trees bend their boughs 

 towards the ground, and give light and shade to the picture. 



A meadow, where games are played, forms part of the 

 scene. The meadow has never been tended in any way 

 for the last eight years, except that it is frequently cut and 

 rolled, and yet it looks splendid. We had sheep on it 

 before we turned it into a playing-field. 



Roses, White Lilies, 

 and Lavender. 



Turning to the left again, we look on arch aft 

 ten altogether — smothered 

 with numberless roses — 

 Dorothy Perkins. Between 

 the arches are espalier fruit 

 trees from which we hope to 

 get plenty of apples and 

 pears some day. 



The edges of the broad 

 path are bordered with pink

 Side of the Castle, 

 showing the Sound.
