The notion, proposed by her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, of utilizing a section of her property for a garden, sparked an irrepressible feeling within her. A lightness filled her chest. She clasped her hands, feeling suddenly warm. "Oh, that sounds wonderful!"

"I've always loved gardening," she said, her voice filled with a melodic tone. "It could really brighten things up back here!"
