他看上去是位单纯老实的人，有较高的品位，头脑也很理智。
除了郁金香，他可以理性地谈论世间的任何事物。
他告诉我，自己特别珍惜我们面前的那个花坛。
虽然那个花坛不足20码长，宽也不足2码，但是即使有人用英国最肥沃的百亩良田来换，他也坚决不妥协。
他又补充说，去年冬天，要不是他的一个愚蠢的厨娘误把一堆郁金香球茎当成了洋葱做了汤，差点要了他的命，否则，这个花坛的价钱至少是现在的两倍。
他说：“厨娘做的那碗汤，花了我整整一千多英镑。”
他随后又给我看了他心目中最好的郁金香。
我觉得那些郁金香珍贵的原因，主要是稀有，形态也非常奇异。
由此我想到，不论我们有多少财富，都没有什么可珍贵的。
我从来没有捕风捉影的嗜好，不会因为某样东西不同寻常、很稀有，便用不同的眼光看待她。
我认为这是一件值得高兴的事。
因此，我把春日的乡野看做是一座花园，时常去看看雏菊，看看紫罗兰，就像花匠照看自己的花坛一样。
周围绽放的每一朵花儿，都是那么熟悉，我不会错过一朵水仙、一簇迎春，即使它们凋谢我也都知道。
带着这种心情，我穿过几处农田，几片草地，向家走去。
我想，这是普罗维登斯的赏赐，他把那些最令人高兴的、最美丽的事物变得那么平凡，那么简单。
