| 7 | 425 | I wondered suddenly if he had come to steal me, or one like me. |
| 7 | 426 | To pluck a flower, to seize, and make away with, a luscious fruit of the garden? But such things are almost impossible to do. |
| 7 | 427 | To be sure, sometimes a flower would disappear, but then so, too, usually, would have a guard, or member of the staff. |
| 7 | 428 | That was dangerous, but possible. |

| 7 | 430 | How, thusly, without the knowledge of the house, without the keys, the passwords, perhaps even friends within, could he hope to get me over the wall, or through the gate, past the guards? How could he even hope to ascend the wall himself, with the incurved knives at the summit? But he had said he was known in the house. |
