James, the king’s gardener, teaches his 15 year-old daughter, Mary, all the principles of godliness through his flowers. She is falsely accused of stealing, and the penalty is death. Mary remembers her father had taught her; that it is better to die for the truth than to live for a lie, and that the worst pillow to sleep on is the pillow of a guilty conscience. HB 168 pg. Christoph von Schmidt
