" "she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered;
because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the
screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to

sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.
