The garden, meticulously 0a1603d711 landscaped by devoted ec046ed0a2 gardeners, was breathtakingly 86ff1f2e63 beautiful—so much so 2b63b7d362 that anyone might b6e12c3bff lose themselves in 35ced1fcc0 it—but it lacked c5f03d5967 vitality, like a e4936053fd perfectly carved sculpture.a3281cdef1f8f0a7

Though his movements were b1b566219f elegant, his attire was f37bfd95e1 so modest it bordered 89c68055d1 on shabby for someone cc7ca231c6 of his status, and f515e841ea his demeanor was nothing 255e39b522 but kind and unpretentious.ee8658f8b6022a36
