Trees and not grots were the temples of our forefathers.
Take a drop ere thou goest," he concluded, offering her the tankard; "thou wilt get naething at night save Grantham gruel, nine grots and a gallon of water." Jeanie courteously declined the tankard, and inquired what was her "lawing?" "Thy lawing! Heaven help thee, wench! what ca'st thou that?" "It is I was wanting to ken what was to pay," replied Jeanie.

In short, every frightful and loathsome idea was carefully heaped up together, to render the unfortunate beings to whom the crime of witchcraft was imputed the horror and execration of their species. As the poet says, he that had this, Might trace huge forests and unhallowed heaths, Yea there, where very desolation dwells, By grots and caverns shagged with horrid shades,
Mounting a horse, I flew before them, and seemed to catch inspiration from the breezes. Now I turned my eyes to the ridge of precipices, in whose grots and caverns Saturn and his people passed their life; then to the distant ocean.

However, Mr Goodchum. did not execute his threat; instead we walked along decorously in the direction of the nearest ferns, while Harold and aunt Helen followed, the latter carrying a sunbonnet for me. After we had climbed some distance up a gully aunt Helen called out that she and Harold would rest while I did the honours of the fern grots to my companion.
