soldier in the middle of grass plot in
the palace grounds. Why was there a

walls? No one knew. Curiosity was

father say that the Empress Catherine

drop in bloom at that point unusually
early and asked that a guard be sta
toned there to protect it. And there a
sentinel remained for at least 13:
years; no one knew how much longer
