The King's Invisible Garden

The king's famous toy palace was entirely invisible to the naked eye. The more than 600 rooms would be completely furnished and scrupulously rendered in every detail. 15 dozen complete sets of knives, forks, and spoons in chased silver with a crown and crossed swords worked onto the handle. During the early stages a sudden draft destroyed a week's worth of work. At last the king permitted himself to wonder whether his maker of miniatures might not soon return to the visible miracle of his exquisite palace furniture.
