Argh! Well, when you get to the online book, it's on page 31.

I hope no one else falls ill. I missed seeing you at church. It was a good sermon, but not so much an exhortation as a mission's report. But, very captivating for me.

I found out that the upside down checkerboard tulips are really Fritillaria meleagris. I guess all those upside down flowers are frittilaria. I have some others at my house.
