They approached the edge of the marsh, and discovered a rural arbour of faded boughs the work of children placed around a couple of willow trees. Within it, was a rude seat; and some parasitical plant with a deep red flower, had twined round the withered boughs, and mingled fantastically with the dead leaves.
The arbour under the mountain ash is the Fairy Palace of the Quicken Tree, and on its walls is suspended the Horn of Foreknowledge, which if any one looks on it in the morning, fasting, he will know in a moment all things that are to happen during that day. Do you know Yeats's song, put to a quaint old Irish air?
"See, dear Charles," cried Julia, in a burst of what she would call natural feeling "there is our house here the summerhouse, and there the little arbour where you read to us last week Scott's new novel how delightful! every thing now seems and feels like home."
I went in, and found that the younger of the two sisters was out. A sudden tendency to hysterics overcame me, and I asked for a glass of water. Miss Arbour, having given it to me, sat down by the side of the fireplace opposite to the one at which I was sitting, and for a few moments there was silence.

It had seemed to pass through a grape arbour that all but shielded from the street a house slightly more pretentious than its neighbours. He ran toward the spot, calling as he went.
The wistaria arbour, which we soon reached, was like a fairy bower hung with thousands of amethyst lamps, burning perfume instead of oil; and the moment we sat down a troop of the fairy residents, cleverly disguised as grey squirrels, with adorable little faces, began excitedly to talk us over.
Meanwhile Hugh and Mora, walking a yard apart all unconscious of these family plans, being so anxiously made for them at an upper casement bent their tall heads and passed under the arch in the yew hedge, crossed the bowling-green, and entered the arbour of the golden roses. Hugh led the way; yet Mora gladly followed. The Bishop's presence seemed to abide here, in comfort and protection.
Don't you think you and I could meet and speak to one another somewhere instead of always writing like this? Somewhere where no one could see us. Do you know do you know do you, ahem! O dear me know that just inside our gate there's a little arbour. The tiniest place.
"If you please, Miss," said the voice, as the person to whom it belonged halted on the lawn at the top of the steps, "Lady Strangways has called, and the mistress says she will be down in a minute, and will you go into the drawing-room at once?" "Very well, Mary, I will come in a moment." The maid retraced her steps across the lawn, and Eleanor hastened back to the arbour.
