Jerome Klapka Jerome. Three on four wheels (Three bikes) (№ 249607)

German likes nature, but nature in his view is a popular Welsh harp. His garden, he pays maximum attention to: plants seven rose bushes on the North side and seven on the South, and if they, God forbid, has grown vary in size and shape, German excitement loses sleep. Every flower is tied to a peg. The natural beauty of the flower is lost, but the German is happy: as long as the flower was in its place and behaved decently.
