"I suppose I'm

should put up with
second-best... For
instance, I'm fond of the theatre; but, believe me, I'd rather stay away than see an indifferent play.
So that's why, when you offered me whisky, I asked you
to make mine a White Horse. I daresay some men hold that one Scotch whisky is as good as another. Well, when they know as much about it as I do, they will think differently.”

Mr. Albert George Noy is an elusive person, writes a correspondent. That is, when it's raining. For it is then that he retires to his hut in Belgrave- square Gardens to plan fresh borders of lupins and irises for which the gardens of London's largest and most exclusive square are famous. But it was Mr. Noy I went to see, not the irises. And it was a charming woman, dressed simply in black, who helped me to puzzle out where. he could be.
"I didn't see him when I was walking round," she smiled. There was no mistaking that smile, the charming, low-pitched voice, the dark eyes and lovely face familiar to millions. It was the Duchess of Kent.
I had seen her go in and walk round the gardens. Once round and you've done a quarter of a mile. The Duchess walked round six times.
It was kind of her to notice I had been standing in the drizzle,
"Have you been waiting to see Mr. Noy all this time?" she exclaimed. If you like I'll let you into the gar- dens to look for him."
Prince Edward admired Mr. Noy's barrow so much that he had to have one just like it.
Every day, wet or shine, summer and winter, four-years-old Prince Edward comes into the garden with his small sister, Princess Alexandra, to play, and it is to "Gardener” he comes running.
