Published caption reads: While the dapper author of "Seed" waits patiently to knock his wife's croquet-ball out of position for the middle wicket, the dowager Kathleen places her lips close to his ear and shyly confides a delicate piece of information. Despite the warning sign stuck in the grass behind her, she feels she cannot avoid the subject longer. She is anticipating another Literary Event!
