He left the door unlatched, and groped his way in. How often he had crept into this warm pine-scented obscurity, guiding himself by the edge of the bench along the wall, and hearing the soft lap of water through the gaps in the flooring!
She had enjoyed all that the great cities had to offer, but as she listened to him she sighed for the silence of the pine-scented bush. At last he rose with a deprecatory smile. "I'm afraid I've rather abused your patience," he said; "and I have to call on Wannop about the mine." "You have told me nothing about it," said Ida. "How is it getting on?" A shadow crept into Weston's face.
Copple thought I was hunting with him, but really, except to follow him, I did not think of the meaning of his slow wary advance. Only a few more days had I to roam the pine-scented forest. That ride up this deep gorge was rich in sensation. Sun and sky and breeze and forest encompassed me.
But neither the swift, keen self-reproaches of Bovey, nor the skill of the best physician to be found in the town, nor the pure, fresh pine-scented air, nor the yearning perchance of a dead yet present mother could prevail.

In a short time within that green and pine-scented enclosure there smiled a little wild paradise.
