In either case exile meant moral death, the complete renunciation of all that had been sweet and precious in her uneventful young life the shadowy beech-groves; the wandering streams; the heathery upland plains; the deep ferny hollows, where the footsteps of humanity were almost unknown; the cluster of tall trees on the hill tops, where the herons came sailing home from their flight across Southampton Water; her childhood's companion; her horse; her old servants.
Is this mine lying dark and evil under the saucy little feet of our Sally? Well, we should not of course be surprised some day to find it so. October is come, and among the black glooms of the pine forests flare out the scarlet branches of the rock-maple, and the beech-groves are all arrayed in gold, through which the sunlight streams in subdued richness.
