Catalogue of guests
1. A boy who gets up and sits down many times, trying to make himself comfortable in a bad chair. He is 14, wearing cargo shorts and reading The Idiot. This boy blooms late in the season and thrives in shade.
2. A very large man saying, “I haven’t eaten a cooked meal in forty years.” I am possibly mishearing him. This man is deer resistant and unusually hardy. Sturdy stems add to his appeal in the garden or vase.
3. Freckly-armed lady in metallic shorts and sheer top. Enjoys chilled soups. She is not old but looks older than she should. Richly-scented and wind-tolerant, this variety prospers in low light.
