Excerpt from The Bargain True There were always a number of applicants to do garden work at World's End. But Glenny stood guard during the snipping of hedges, paying the curious native from a beaded red-duck purse which she wore under her apron, and escorting him formally to the gate. When being shown this most shameful attraction the visitors were told in a meaning whisper that World's End was like a palace inside. Once a well-meaning new divine called to ask if the gardens did not appeal to Glenny as a charming setting for the annual missionary outing. The divine never reported in detail his experience. He merely said Miss Glenny was a woman of strong convictions. Occasionally if the visitors had children their hostess would brave ringing the bell to ask meekly of Miss Glenny if the little ones could see the cemetery!
