Story Summary

An old couple who spent a lifetime gardening in the old servant house behind the deserted mansion always wanted a child. One spring they get their wish in a garden child, but in the Fall her golden red hair turns brittle and the hem of her dress tatters and, as quickly as she came, she is gone.
