She cried: "How the noble aspects of beautiful trees stir up. the keenest emotions of the soul." Then, patting a great, rough trunk, she went on: "You superb oak, what would you say to me if you could talk?" Thebishop smiled. "I believe I can be his Interpreter," he murmured. "He would probably say, 'I beg your pardon, par-don, miss; I am a beech.' " |
