That was the story Ihesitated to tell, but now I'm going to tell it. Do you know how peoplein high life look from the under world? No, of course you don't. Theylook like hawks and eagles whose backs one seldom sees, for they soar upabove. I lived in a hovel provided by the state, with seven brothers andsisters and a pig; out on a barren stretch where nothing grew, not evena tree, but from the window I could see the Count's park walls withapple trees rising above them. That was the garden of par...adise; andthere stood many angry angels with flaming swords protecting it; butfor all that I and other boys found the way to the tree of life--now youdespise me. JULIE. Oh, all boys steal apples. JEAN. You say that, but you despise me all the same. No matter! One timeI entered the garden of paradise--it was to weed the onion beds with mymother! Near the orchard stood a Turkish pavilion, shaded and overgrownwith jessamine and honeysuckle. I didn't know what it was used for andI had never seen anything so beautiful.
