"Then to come nearer, look at that spray of turtlehead growing by that gray stone the shadow it throws is as fine as thread lace, and it waves in the breeze just like the flower." " Oh, it is beautiful, and I never should have seen it." "And best of all," resumed Tucker, as if avoiding an interruption, "is that I've watched a nestful of young wrens take flight from under the eaves.
