Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Garden of the Plynck It is certainly an underhand way of suggesting that you stop doing something pleasant, or begin doing something unpleasant; and you would not have thought that Sara's dear mother would have had so unworthy a habit. But a stern regard for the truth compels me to admit that she had. You see, Sara's dear mother was, indeed, most dear; but very self willed and contrary. Her great fault was that she was always busy at something. She would dam, and she would write, and she would read dark-colored books without pictures. When Sara compared her with other mothers of her acquaintance, or when this very contrary own mother went away for a day, she seemed indeed to Sara quite desper ately perfect. But on ordinary days Sara was darkly aware, in the clearest part of her mind - the upper right-hand corner near the window - that her mother, with all her charm, really did need to be remoulded nearer to her heart's desire. She was especially clear about this on the frequent occasions when she would come into the room where her mother was sitting, and plump down upon a chair with a heart-tending sigh, and say, I wish I had somebody to play with! For then her dear but most contrary mother would glance up from her book or her darning and remark, with a calm smile.
