She had seen pictures of pretty flowers, and had a pot of lank mignionette on the window-sill, and sometimes mamma had sent to flue market for a bunch of flowers; but they always looked pale and sickly, for, like the children of the town, they wanted fresh air. But at last mamma took Agnes on a visit to the country, to sec a most beautiful garden. It was full of the rarest flowers; for the owner was a rich man, and loved flowers. ...
