This is: Mrs. Harrison's Bonsai Birch.
Mrs. Harrison received it when she was four years old, and it was four years old. She cared for it until she was 22, when she was married to the "Cable Tycoon of Singapore." That was when Miss Weiz began to care for it. Miss Weiz did not especially like the idea of anything bonsai, her teacher had told her to live to her "full potential." The problem with letting a birch tree live to its full potential is that birch trees are devilishly clever pranksters. Because of this Miss Weiz decided to keep it exactly as tall as Mrs. Harrison. It reached its greatest height at one hundred and fifty seven centimeters.
