And with a squeak in chorus the choir disperses, to meet and sing again in a few minutes in another part of the reddening tree. Aptly imitating its most frequent note, blacks have given the name of "Moor-goody," to a sedate little bird rarely seen away from the jungle, and then only in the shadiest of bushes. Many of the birds are distinguished and named in accordance with their notes.
Experience, however, only too often proves the inaccuracy of this assertion. A similar idea exists in connection with hops; and, according to a tradition current in Yorkshire, the nightingale made its first appearance in the neighbourhood of Doncaster when hops were planted. 'Sings darkling, and, in shadiest covert hid, Tunes her nocturnal lay."
She would leave the factory after her long toil, and run home, pick up a parcel which her mother had prepared, and fly like a hunted thing along the shadiest and quietest streets, making many a turning in order to avoid her friends, to the nearest pawnbroker's.

When at length she turned to get in, Tony Cornish was coming across the Toornoifeld under the trees; for The Hague is the shadiest city in the world, with forest trees growing amid its great houses. "Ah!" said Marguerite, holding out her hand. "You see, I have come across to give you all a leg-up. Seems to me we are going to have rather a spree."
