4/24 "How about this big tree ?" There was a very large and beautiful tree in the glade we had just entered, with thick wide-spreading branches that sloped out in lapping fans like a beech or pine. It was trimmed underneath some twenty feet up, and stood there like a huge umbrella, with circling seats beneath. "There are short stumps of branches left to climb on. There's someone up that tree, I believe." We stole near, cautiously. "In my heart, more likely," he answered. |
