It was loud; it was incessant; and it was of many voices. Following the sound, I started across the unmown field, "Through the bending grasses, Tall and lushy green, All alive with tiny things, Stirring feet and whirring wings Just an instant seen," and soon came in sight of the nest near the topmost twig of an old apple-tree.
But in the midst of all the tumult of thoughts and feelings stirring in her, there was the fear that he would now be ashamed of his base-born sister and avoid her. "I am afraid that I have no cause to feel happy," she returned at last. "Arthur Eden knows me so well, and if he had not felt ashamed of finding a sister in me, he would have come to me himself instead of sending a stranger.
Yes! that was what we used to do. But where was the batea, for now by some strange freak I was back in Brazil, and must have my batea.
