In July, the lotuses in Clark Manor were in full bloom.
At that time, the Clark Manor only had three acres of lotus flowers, but it already felt spacious and beautiful.
The houses in the North Court had not been built yet, and there were more exotic flowers, some medicinal herbs cultivated by Natalie Wayne, and some scenery.
Old Master Lane carried Lila Campbell to Clark Manor for a visit.
Elina Clark, Tom Wayne, and Harton Clark accompanied them to admire the lotus flowers by the Lotus Pond. Lila Campbell held Harton Clark's hand all the time.
"Brother Arthur, there are goldfish!" Little Lila could only see the fish in the pond through the gaps in the railing, which was not even as high as her.
"Mmm." Harton Clark replied. As he looked down, he saw a goldfish swimming away, startled by her voice.
"Ah! It ran away." Lila's voice was milkily crisp, with a hint of loss.
"They'll run away when they hear noises." Harton Clark explained.
