But it was impossible that the nature of that mad engagement between her and her cousin George should ever be made known to Mr Grey. She sat there wiping the tears from her eyes as she looked for his figure among the figures by the lake-side; but, as she sat there, she promised herself no happiness from his coming.
In fact they seemed more abundant there than anywhere else; but they were often to be heard by the lake-side, and in our apple orchard, and once at least one of them sang at some length from a birch-tree within a few feet of the piazza, between it and the bowling alley.
'Nay, lad, you'll noan see birk-trees like yon i' Raandhay Park. And he pointed to t' birk-trees by t' lake-side, wi' boles two foot through. "'What is it then? I asked. 'Have I coom to foreign parts? I'm a bad 'un to mell wi' foreigners. "'Nay, said Abe, 'thou's i' heaven. "'Heaven! I shouted out, an' I looked up at Abe to see if he were fleerin' at me.
