Arden started violently, trembled like the leaves in the morning wind, and turned slowly toward her, feeling more guilty and alarmed than if he had been playing the part of a burglar, instead of acting as her good genius. "Why don't you answer?" she asked, in still more decided tones. "By what right are you doing this work?" Edith had lost faith in men.

Its uses ranged from the tent of a ménagerie or the wigwam of an Indian brave to the Forest of Arden. This December night it was a "wood near Athens," and to Mhor, if to no one else, it faithfully represented the original. That true Elizabethan needed no aids to his imagination. "This is a wood," said Mhor, and a wood it was.
