Mind Picture: Imagine an old-world garden, enclosed by high hedges cut square, slumbering beneath the midday sun of a summer's day. A statue of Love, with viol and bow, stands over the fountain. To one side you can see the house of Prunella's Aunts, a house with prim windows, the centre one projecting over a porch in which hangs a caged canary. An old gardener is at work, trimming the hedges and trailing up creepers. Behind the farther hedge the voice of the gardener's boy is heard scaring birds.
