They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a plowed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master's house, which stood by the roadside; at the top of the meadow was a grove of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook overhung by a steep bank. I am not--but I shall be there--in the fir grove behind the house, with two horses. |
