Sylvia pushed open the little white gate of the Chalet des Muguets and / began walking up the path which lay through the neglected, untidy garden.
To eyes accustomed to the exquisitely-kept gardens of an English country / town, there was something almost offensive in the sight presented by the / high, coarse grass and luxuriant unkemptness of the place, and once more / Sylvia wondered how the Wachners could bear to leave the land surrounding / their temporary home in such a state.
