And now, like the rolling away of a panorama picture in a show, Gerty Greensleeves, and all other maids save one, had passed out of my life. Or so, in my ignorance, I thought at the time. For no woman ever passes wholly out of any man's life that is, if he lives long enough.
The walls and floors were covered with thick green moss, as soft as velvet. There were low seats and a round table, vessels of carved wood, a hearth inlaid with strange stones, an oven, and a storeroom for food against the winter. When they stepped in, the lady said: "A hundred years have I lived here, and my name is Lady Greensleeves.
It seemed a demonstration was brewing, and I determined to be off at once. Bidding my own post-boy and Rowley be in readiness for an immediate start, I reascended the terrace and presented myself, hat in hand, before Mr. Greensleeves and the Archdeacon.
In the morning Loveleaves told Woodwender what she had heard, and they went to Lady Greensleeves where she milked the does, and said: "We heard what the raven told you last night, and we know the two lords are our fathers. Tell us how the spell may be broken." "I fear the king of the forest fairies," said Lady Greensleeves, "because I live here alone, and have no friend but my dwarf Corner.
At sight of him Miss Dorothy flung herself on her knees with the most moving adjurations, calling him father, assuring him she was wholly cured and entirely repentant of her disobedience, and entreating forgiveness; and I soon saw that she need fear no great severity from Mr. Greensleeves, who showed himself extraordinarily fond, loud, greedy of caresses and prodigal of tears.
But just then Jo Kettle had other fish to fry. From the bad eminence of the garden palisade he was devouring the new-comer with his eyes. As for me, I had shaken the hand of the lately adored Greensleeves from my arm. The girl's glance stayed for an instant and no more upon the round and rosy countenance of Mr. Josiah Kettle, Justice of the Peace.
"Not much," said the bear; "only the fawns are growing very cunning one can't catch above three in a day." "That's bad news," said Lady Greensleeves; and at once in walked a great wild cat. "Good evening, lady!" said the cat. "Good evening, cat!" said Lady Greensleeves. "What is the news in your part of the forest?"

"Not much," said the cat; "only the birds are growing very plentiful it is not worth one's while to catch them." "That's good news," said Lady Greensleeves; and in flew a great black raven. "Good evening, lady!" said the raven. "Good evening, raven!" said Lady Greensleeves. "What is the news in your part of the forest?"
"Not much," said the raven; "only in a hundred years or so we shall be very genteel and private, the trees will be so thick." "How is that?" said Lady Greensleeves. "Oh!" said the raven, "have you not heard how the king of the forest fairies laid a spell on two lords, who were travelling through his kingdom to see the old woman that weaves her own hair?
