Caroline

The girl sat in a white wooden gazebo in the Great Garden of the Central Palace, dotted with countless fragrant plants, each of which, by its color, indicated the nationality of the one who planted them. For example, blue carnations were planted by the Zontopians, and scarlet peonies by the Sukhawattans... This was a political and friendly gesture on the part of the rulers of the Land of Kings at the time. The sun's rays penetrated into the gazebo and with a warm light emphasized the cute and neat features in the profile of Caroline, who was sitting quietly. She was peacefully and interestedly reading a book in her native language, when suddenly she heard someone's movement and turned sharply towards the sound— "Who's there..?" There was no trace left of the former involvement in the very busy Zontopian drama.
