Hitherto silence had reigned under the boughs of the pines and tops of the beeches, but now a wood-pigeon joined in the lad's laugh, and a jay, startled by the clapping of hands, spread its brown wings, delicately flecked with blue, and soared from one pine to another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
