The Solitary Summer
·
Elizabeth Von Arnim
9
As
far
as
I
was
concerned
I
had
really
learned
a
little,
and
knew
what
to
buy,
and
had
fairly
correct
notions
as
to
when
and
in
what
soil
to
sow
and
plant
what
I
had
bought;
but
of
what
use
is
it
to
buy
good
seeds
and
plants
and
bulbs
if
you
are
forced
to
hand
them
over
to
a
gardener
who
listens
with
ill-concealed
impatience
to
the
careful
directions
you
give
him,
says
Jawohl
a
great
many
times,
and
then
goes
off
and
puts
them
in
in
the
way
he
has
always
done,
which
is
invariably
the
wrong
way?
My
hands
were
tied
because
of
the
unfortunate
circumstance
of
sex,
or
I
would
gladly
have
changed
places
with
him
and
requested
him
to
do
the
talking
while
I
did
the
planting,
and
as
he
probably
would
not
have
talked
much
there
would
have
been
a
distinct
gain
in
the
peace
of
the
world,
which
would
surely
be
very
materially
increased
if
women's
tongues
were
tied
instead
of
their
hands,
and
those
that
want
to
could
work
with
them
without
collecting
a
crowd.
And
is
it
not
certain
that
the
more
one's
body
works
the
fainter
grow
the
waggings
of
one's
tongue?
