The Orangery

The Orangery

Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam
3.4/5 ( ratings)
I’d held my position as guardian of the Orangery for twenty years when our first intruder broke his way in through the stone wall.
I walked among the Orangery, watching for roots reaching up from the soil like begging hands. These trees I’d oblige with stream water poured from a basin of pure gold. Then I walked the path with my great pair of shears. From the words of my ancestors, I knew to hold the shears poised at my own heart as I went, so as not to frighten the trees and set them about producing their poison. If a tree wished to be trimmed, she would rattle her branches. I trimmed until she stopped her shaking.
