Hello everyone! I found this old vignette while digging through my files recently. I posted it online years ago.

Up (or Down?) the Garden Path with Anne de Bourgh
Considering our August theme – Up The Garden Path – I knew immediately what I should share today. Although I daresay every novel I’ve ever written features a garden walk or two, I’m sure there must be more of them in The Ladies of Rosings Park than any other. There’s even a chapter by that …
