At the bottom of the garden I sat out under the hedge of nut trees this / afternoon and did my best to formulate a plan of action. Dandy sat on / the ground before me, staring up into my face. He knew I was thinking / deeply and, though he would not have disturbed me for the world, I / saw that he was offering me his assistance. It consists of a rapt and / undivided attention while I speak aloud whatever comes first into my / head. There are but few occasions when I refuse his offer. I accepted / it then.
"This requires strenuous concentration," said I, whereupon I began to / let my eyes wander up the garden to where Cruikshank was seeing to his / raspberry canes.
