[32]“There are other things besides gems, little girl.” Mrs. Bennett smiled and began to clear the table. Orl the briers from the way. Max, whose father was a gardener, knew wizard’s tricks with seeds and soils; and as Farmer and Forester to the syndicate, gave his knowledge right and left with happy importance. He taught the girls how to plan and plant their flower beds, and started the boys on a career of vegetable-raising that made them feel rich before they began; talked trees to Harold and other farmer boys, and astonished his father by the questions he asked and the work he did..

The boy went cold and pale. Before he looked he knew that May Nell was not there. He turned his white face to the others as they came up. Supper passed.
