"I theenk thad I shall nefer see, a theeng as lovlee as a tree," sang Wolfgang happily. He selected the gentian blue from his paint palette, made a few deft strokes, and sat back on his heels to admire his hoofiwork. "Mind you, thees does take some beadeeng, efen eef I say so myself!"
"Hmm," said Constanza, looking up from her intent study of a seed catalogue.
