He
knew
the
strength
of
the
current
of
air
,
and
tempered
it
so
as
to
adapt
it
to
the
wave
of
the
stems
of
his
flowers
.
His
productions
also
began
to
meet
with
the
favour
of
the
public
.
They
were
beautiful
,
nay
,
distinguished
.
Several
fanciers
had
come
to
see
Boxtel
's
tulips
.
At
last
he
had
even
started
amongst
all
the
Linnaeuses
and
Tourneforts
a
tulip
which
bore
his
name
,
and
which
,
after
having
travelled
all
through
France
,
had
found
its
way
into
Spain
,
and
penetrated
as
far
as
Portugal
;
and
the
King
,
Don
Alfonso
VI
.
--
who
,
being
expelled
from
Lisbon
,
had
retired
to
the
island
of
Terceira
,
where
he
amused
himself
,
not
,
like
the
great
Condé
,
with
watering
his
carnations
,
but
with
growing
tulips
--
had
,
on
seeing
the
Boxtel
tulip
,
exclaimed
,
"
Not
so
bad
,
by
any
means
!
"
All
at
once
,
Cornelius
van
Baerle
,
who
,
after
all
his
learned
pursuits
,
had
been
seized
with
the
tulipomania
,
made
some
changes
in
his
house
at
Dort
,
which
,
as
we
have
stated
,
was
next
door
to
that
of
Boxtel
.
He
raised
a
certain
building
in
his
court-yard
by
a
story
,
which
shutting
out
the
sun
,
took
half
a
degree
of
warmth
from
Boxtel
's
garden
,
and
,
on
the
other
hand
,
added
half
a
degree
of
cold
in
winter
;
not
to
mention
that
it
cut
the
wind
,
and
disturbed
all
the
horticultural
calculations
and
arrangements
of
his
neighbour
.
After
all
,
this
mishap
appeared
to
Boxtel
of
no
great
consequence
.
Van
Baerle
was
but
a
painter
,
a
sort
of
fool
who
tried
to
reproduce
and
disfigure
on
canvas
the
wonders
of
nature
.
The
painter
,
he
thought
,
had
raised
his
studio
by
a
story
to
get
better
light
,
and
thus
far
he
had
only
been
in
the
right
.
Mynheer
van
Baerle
was
a
painter
,
as
Mynheer
Boxtel
was
a
tulip-grower
;
he
wanted
somewhat
more
sun
for
his
paintings
,
and
he
took
half
a
degree
from
his
neighbour
's
tulips
.
The
law
was
for
Van
Baerle
,
and
Boxtel
had
to
abide
by
it
.
Besides
,
Isaac
had
made
the
discovery
that
too
much
sun
was
injurious
to
tulips
,
and
that
this
flower
grew
quicker
,
and
had
a
better
colouring
,
with
the
temperate
warmth
of
morning
,
than
with
the
powerful
heat
of
the
midday
sun
.
He
therefore
felt
almost
grateful
to
Cornelius
van
Baerle
for
having
given
him
a
screen
gratis
.
Maybe
this
was
not
quite
in
accordance
with
the
true
state
of
things
in
general
,
and
of
Isaac
Boxtel
's
feelings
in
particular
.
It
is
certainly
astonishing
what
rich
comfort
great
minds
,
in
the
midst
of
momentous
catastrophes
,
will
derive
from
the
consolations
of
philosophy
.
But
alas
!
What
was
the
agony
of
the
unfortunate
Boxtel
on
seeing
the
windows
of
the
new
story
set
out
with
bulbs
and
seedlings
of
tulips
for
the
border
,
and
tulips
in
pots
;
in
short
,
with
everything
pertaining
to
the
pursuits
of
a
tulip-monomaniac
!
There
were
bundles
of
labels
,
cupboards
,
and
drawers
with
compartments
,
and
wire
guards
for
the
cupboards
,
to
allow
free
access
to
the
air
whilst
keeping
out
slugs
,
mice
,
dormice
,
and
rats
,
all
of
them
very
curious
fanciers
of
tulips
at
two
thousand
francs
a
bulb
.
Boxtel
was
quite
amazed
when
he
saw
all
this
apparatus
,
but
he
was
not
as
yet
aware
of
the
full
extent
of
his
misfortune
.
Van
Baerle
was
known
to
be
fond
of
everything
that
pleases
the
eye
.
