I mean, it's too _laughable_.

So, you see, your rose-tree is not in the middle at all.

In the same way you can go on planting the old tree all over the

bed--anywhere you like. In every case you'll get those right angles in

the same ridiculous position--why, it makes me laugh _now_ to think of

it--and you'll be brought back to dear old CE.

And, of course, any point in CE _except_ F would divide CE unequally,

which I notice now is just what you've done yourself; so F is wrong

too.

But you see the idea?

What a mess you've made of the bed!
