Pat had promised Elise one more season in the greenhouse, and today was the first day of it. Elise sat on a kitchen chair just inside the front gate with the cash tin on her knees and her word board on top of the tin, selling tomato plants to the neighbours, as she did on the last Saturday of every April. On Monday at ten a man was coming to value the house.
