The meadow might have been called a plovery as we say rookery and heronry for the green plovers or peewits always had several nests in it. The course of the humble bees that went by could be watched for some way their large size and darker colour made them visible as they now went down into the grass, and now started forward again.
There is no more ready shortcut to the dim kingdom than this plovery headland, for, covered and smothered now from sight by mounds of sand, a long cave goes thither "full of gold and silver, and the most beautiful parlours and drawing-rooms." Once, before the sand covered it, a dog strayed in, and was heard yelping helplessly deep underground in a fort far inland.
