Children and gardens . e pussies. I hope you love them as muchas I do. They are perfect garden companions. WhenI am out at work there is sure to be one or other ofthem close by, lying on my jacket or on a bench ifthere is one near. When it is Tabby, if there is anempty basket anywhere handy he is certain to get intoit. When I take one of my baskets for flowers—of thepattern that I invented and always use—if I put itdown for a moment Tabby takes possession. One dayI was bringing the basket home full of Hydrangeas,and put it down to see if there were any figs ripe. Idid not see what was going on behind my back, butwhen I turned round to take up the flowers there hewas established in the basket ; some of the Hydrangeaswere pushed out on to the grass, and Tabby had com-posed himself to sleep among the rest. Another day I was doing photographs down thegarden with spare plates in a palm-leaf basket. WhenI wanted more plates he had made himself so com-fortable that I could not bear to disturb him, so I went 98.
