Aldington, with its quiet apple orchards and the "island" and shrubberies below my garden, was a happy refuge for birds of all kinds, and the old pollard-willow heads a favourite nesting-place. Worcestershire people have some very curious names for birds, and some of these are also heard in Hampshire and Dorset.
They were nearing the lake, with the stump of the pollard-willow in sight, and toward it they went. "I shall take the consolation of knowing that I shall hear of you, some day," she said, having recourse to a look of cheerfulness. He knew her to allude to certain hopes of fame. "I am getting wiser, I fear too wise for ambition!" "That is a fallacy, a sophism." He pointed to the hollow tree.

But there were a good many falls the last ton minutes: ground heavy, and pace awful; old rat-tail had enough to do to hold his own. Saw one fellow ride bang into a pollard-willow, when there was an open gate close to him cut his cheek open, and lay; but some one said it was only Smith of Ewebury, so I rode on."
