He writes that I had no roots. In fact, I had one: a deep tap that threatened to suck nourishment from the healthy root system of a sturdy, flourishing English oak. Time to pluck it up, any gardener would say.

That offending plant would wither into straw now, but it was a desiccated old stick to begin with. Small loss.
