We would gather the old friends about us, and eat very large apples by the study-window; we would hunt nests in the hayloft and acorns in the wood; the school-room would take us back again, and all the half-obliterated memories of the past would glow with fresher color. A hundred hands would be stretched out to me, and I would recognize the clasp of each.
"Oh, Gethin anwl!" she sobbed, as she clasped her arms round his neck. Gethin gently loosed her clinging fingers, and kissed the tears from her eyes, and in her heart welled up again the tender love which had been smothered and buried for so long. Gwilym Morris came hurrying down from his "study," a tiny room partitioned off from the hayloft.
Lammie's Sunday boots, which, from their size, made it so difficult for him to get along, that he did not go far from the doors, but revelled in the company of his violin in the corn-yard amongst last year's ricks, in the barn, and in the hayloft, playing all the tunes he knew, and trying over one or two more from a very dirty old book of Scotch airs, which his teacher had lent him.
'I have been up in the hayloft, answered Mary, frankly; and, intent on one idea, she said impetuously, 'Dear grandmother, I want you to do me a favour a very great favour.
He, therefore, lay in the hay which had served him for a bed until the sun shone in upon him; then he again tried to get out, but he trembled so that he crawled back into the loft and there lay the whole day. Towards evening he was driven out by the owner of the barn. Rupert staggered along until he came to another hayloft, which he succeeded in reaching without being seen.

I used to lie in my bed by the open window, watching the heat lightning play softly along the horizon, or looking up at the gaunt frame of the windmill against the blue night sky.
They were slender and shapely and satin smooth with arched insteps, the daintiest of toes, and nails like pink shells. We were all the hayloft. The Story Girl had been telling us a tale "Of old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago." Felicity and Cecily were curled up in a corner, and we boys sprawled idly on the fragrant, sun-warm heaps.
Turkey hurried away to search the hayloft once more, but without success; and at last I heard my father calling me. I ran to him, and told him there was no woman to be seen. "That's odd," he said. "She must have passed straight through the yard and got out at the other side before you went in. While you were looking for her, she was plodding away out of sight. Come along, and let us have our tea."
Upstill fetched his dame from her bed in the hayloft, and Richard told her, in formal and authoritative manner, what he required of her. 'I will search her! answered the dame from between her closed teeth. 'Mistress Vaughan, said Richard, 'if she offer thee evil words, give her the same lesson thou gavest her husband. If all tales be true, she is not beyond the need of it.
Times have changed for the better; not a single cat or rat has been seen in my hayloft all the season, and the window has been always open." "So you have changed your mind about House People?" said the Bank Swallow slyly. "Yes that is, about some House People."
