The most beautiful place! It is quite alone, standing well back from the road, quite three miles from the village. It makes me think of English places that you read about, for there are hedges and walls and gates that lock, and lots of separate little houses for the gardeners and people.

I enjoyed reading this part because it was able to let me imagine the place and the garden so I could put a picture in my head.
