But no--eventide is as pleasant to him as to me, and this antique garden as attractive; and he strolls on, now lifting the gooseberry-tree branches to look at the fruit, large as plums, with which they are laden; now taking a ripe cherry from the wall; now stooping towards a knot of flowers, either to inhale their fragrance or to admire the dew-beads on their petals.
Ma mi ero ingannata; la serata e il pomario gli parvero così attraenti come erano parsi a me. Egli passeggiava alzando ora i rami dell'uva spina, con i frutti grossi come prune, ora coglieva una ciliegia o si curvava sui fiori per aspirarne il profumo o per guardare la rugiada che ne copriva la corolla.
