Though Moss Is Common On Branches, It Does Not Often Make A Raised Cushion, Thick, As If Green Velvet Pile Were Laid For The Birds To Run On.

There were rooks' nests in some tall ash trees; the scanty foliage left the nests exposed, they were still occupied by late broods.

Rooks' nests are not often seen in ashes as in elms.

By a mossy bank a little girl - a miniature Audrey - stout, rosy, and ragged, stood with a yellow straw hat aslant on her yellow hair, eating the leaves from a spray of beech in her hand. Audrey looked at us, eating the beech leaves steadily, but would not answer, not even 'Where's your father to?' For in Somerset the 'to' is put last, and must never be omitted; thus, instead of saying 'I bought this at Taunton,' it is correct to say 'I bought this to Taunton.' There are models under glass cases in places of entertainment with a notice to say that if a penny be inserted the machine will go. Audrey the Little would not speak, but when a penny was put in her hand she began to move, and made off for home with the treasure. The road turned and turned, but whichever way the Barle was always under us, and the red rock rose high at the side. This rock fractures aslant if worked, vast flakes come out, and the cleavage is so natural that until closely approached a quarry appears a cliff.
