I've got a dozen and a half books, but there will not be one too many.

You see eight will go at once, with the four seasons 'on my face,' and the four 'on my back.' Then I want two or three for the garden.

For one thing I must have a list of our perennials.

I am collecting a good lot.

Old Isaac has brought me no end of new ones out of different gardens in the village, and now the villagers know I want them, they bring me plants from all kinds of out-of-the-way places, when they go to see their friends.
