“When C.Z. said she tended her gardens, she did not mean that literally. She wasn’t about to intrude in the servants’ world. “I love flowers, and I want to know all about them,” she said with obvious sincerity. “But I don’t want to take away a job from the gardener. I love horses, but it doesn’t mean I have to do the manual labor part.”
