Ajeet objected no more, and in the new silence they could hear the shrill rasping of cicadae in the foliage of a gigantic elephant-creeper, that, like a huge python, crawled its way from branch to branch, sprawling across a dozen stately trees. From somewhere beyond was a steady "tonk! tonk! tonk!" like the beat of wood against a hollow pipe of the little green-plumaged coppersmith bird.
It was like a snake swallowing itself. Half-way down the mountain we stopped about an hour at Mr. From the woods all about came the songs of birds, among them the contributions of a couple of birds which I was not then acquainted with: the brain-fever bird and the coppersmith.
And what was it that snatched her so early away but that she pined for your son? Gotz may soon be recalled to his mother's arms; but the coppersmith may never see his child fair Gertrude, the folks called her never see her more. And he might have been rejoiced in her presence to this day if...."
