Guardian of the Green Hill
“Today, for the rest of the afternoon, she was free, and it felt like the end of summer vacation, joyous and careless with a last bacchanalian exuberance and an undertone of trepidation.
For the first of her lessons, she, and everyone in the household, would attend the Gladysmere mowing festival. Gladysmere has more festivals than any community outside of an artists’ colony, and Phyllida explained that a large part of Meg’s duties (should she choose to accept them) would be chairing the organiza...tional committees for a least two dozen holiday, seasonal, crafting, and agricultural celebrations.
