most open under a south-looking wall on
which the roses were still clustering (for
they grow roses late at La Granja) 10, a
trench was dug. 1t was not so deep as

in Spain, as elsewhere. a little earth covers
a multitude of SORROWS.
Brother Teodoro did his best; but. in
spite of his endeavors, the bulk of the
work fell to Rollo and Concha. Yet under
