NARRATOR: "I\u2019m\xa0sorry?\u201d She winced in her kneeling spot beside the cabbage roses.\xa0\xa0
From behind the crumbling wall, the silhouette whispered again.\xa0
She shielded her eyes with a mud-caked cotton glove, and a cold breeze stole past her cheek, disturbing the untucked strands of her white fringe.\xa0
\u201cI can\u2019t hear you from over there!\u201d\xa0
The dim figure glided to her gate \u2014 a lattice of iron and ivy \u2014 and waited. The sky dragged a shroud of darkness across her rosemary bed.\xa0
Negotiating knee complaints, she clambered to her feet, and every neighbouring garden came into view; brown and withered.\xa0\xa0
\u201cIt\u2019s no good, I\u2019ll have to come to you\u201d, she said; the pruning shears snug in her grip.\xa0\xa0
