CHAPTER v.-(Continued.)
We passed the quiet little hamlet Of
Woolvercot. the only living creatures Wis
ible being some white geese on the green;
and shortly thereafter we stopped our
noble vessel for a second or two, and
got out for a stroll along the towpath.
And very pleasant stroll it was; the
air was soft and sweet, the sunlight was
more general now. and lay warmly on
the hawthorn hedges and the grassy
banks. or course. Miss Peggy was busy
with her study of English wild flowers;
and the young man who seemed rather
glad to be her attendant did what he
could to assist her: and as she got to-
gcther wild hyacinths and primroses and
spccdwells and forget -me-nots and Rosa
lind's daisies pied and violets blue" she
sometimes hummed or whistled a bit of
the Green Bushes" tune that had ap-
parently got into her head.
Il shan forget to write out that song
for you." said her companion-as II the
assurance were needed
Il think 1 know the air." she answer
ed; ''if you will kindly give me the
words"
1t turned out a clear and golden after
noon; and the westering light lay softly
on the foliage of the willows and elms,
the cattle were. and on the banks nearer
us that were yellow with buttercups. And
the night that followed was one of the
most perfect moonlight nights had ever
seen.
"On a night like this" said our young
American friend. isn't II a pity we
haven't some beautiful music? The tink-
ling Of a banjo spoils everything"
Peggy" said Queen Tita, putting her
hand on the girls arm for a moment,
"sing My Old Kentucky Home"
Thereupon Miss Peggy-who Il the soul
Of good nature when there is no mischiev-
GUS project In her head-took up her
banjo. which lay in her lap, and began to
sing, anu very well did her rich contralto
voice sound in the stiffness of these slum-
bering woods and fields. One could not
help wondering what some belated rustic
would have thought Of it all if he had
CHANGED upon us on his way home; the
black trees and the gray canal showing
no sign of life; that spectral white thing
moOred in there among the willows with
its mOtiOnless points Of red fire; the ST.
lence all around absolute but for the
strange singing Of wOman's voice.
