He is certainly not a respectable bird, like the starling, for example if we do not go to the cherry-grower for the starling's character. He is and always has been on the keeper's and farmer's black list, and scarcely a week passes but you will find him described in some gamekeeper's or farmer's journal as "even worse than the rook."
He lifted his hat with a courtly grace, but his eyes showed that reverence which no courts could command the reverence of a sincere man for a noble-hearted woman. And so he walked back into the forest. The dwelling which Miss Rothesay entered was one of the keeper's cottages, built within the forest.
"Here, put your biscuits in your pocket, Burr," cried Mercer, "and we'll go on now." Saying which, he set the example, finished his ginger-beer, and made the keeper's daughter smile by declaring it was better than ever. "Glad you like it, sir; and of course you know I didn't mean you, as I've trusted before, and will again, because you always pay." "Thank-ye. I know whom you mean," he replied.
"She's right, Lulie," observed Zach, with calm emphasis. "The whole crew of ghost seiners is back here in port again, Cap'n Jeth and all. Better beat for open water, hadn't you, Nelse, eh? Be the divil to pay if you don't.... Godfreys, yes!" The announcement exploded like a bomb in the midst of the little group in the light keeper's sitting room.
Why, 'e's got so much of it, 'e has to carry some of it in that there bundle there, for fear 'e'd bust if 'e didn't ease hisself a bit 'E " But Mr. Hoopdriver heard no more. He was hopping vigorously along the road, in a spasmodic attempt to remount. He missed the treadle once and swore viciously, to the keeper's immense delight. "Nar! Nar!" said the heath-keeper.

Audley had gone to put up his horse at the village inn, and did not join the party again till they had reached what the children called Picnic Hollow a spot where a bank suddenly rose above a bright dimpling stream with a bed of rock, the wood opening an exquisite vista under its beech trees beyond, and a keeper's lodge standing conveniently for the boiling of kettles.
"I am the keeper's only child and when I saw ladies of your honorable condition fleeing on the quay, with the Dalmatians marching on one side, and a mob shouting on the other, I bethought me that even a prison might be welcome." "Thy goodness of heart did not mislead thee."
Nothing in sight but a keeper's hut, and some grouse butts far away; an ugly red building on the horizon, in the very middle of the heath, the Markborough isolation hospital; and round the edge of the vast undulating plateau in all directions the faint smoke of the colliery chimneys. But the colour of the heath was the marvel.
In another spot a wood-clearing not far from the keeper's lodge the strong scent of pheasants always seemed to indicate that the birds had ventured thither in numbers to feed, and there, too, the man-scent was strong on the grass.
