She sat there as though she were awaiting some one, and he made no stop nor stay, but went straight up to her, and took her in his arms, and kissed her mouth and her eyes, and she him again; and then he sat himself down beside her. SHE SAT THERE AS THOUGH SHE WERE AWAITING SOMEONE AND HE MADE NO STOP NOR STAY BUT WENT STRAIGHT UP TO HER AND TOOK HER IN HIS ARMS AND KISSED HER MOUTH AND HER EYES AND SHE HIM AGAIN AND THEN HE SAT HIMSELF DOWN BESIDE HER
h there was no path, till all the moonlight was quenched under the close roof of the beech-leaves, though yet for all the darkness, no man could go there and not feel that the roof was green above him. Still he went on in despite of the darkness, till at last there was a glimmer before him, that grew greater till he came unto a small wood-lawn whereon the turf grew again, though the grass was but thin, because little sunlight got to it, so close and thick were the tall trees round about it. . . . Nought looked Thiodolf either at the heavens above, or the trees, as he strode from off the husk-strewn floor of the beech wood on to the scanty grass of the lawn, but his eyes looked straight before him at that which was amidmost of the lawn: and little wonder was that; for there on a stone chair sat a woman exceeding fair, clad in glittering raiment, her hair lying as pale in the moonlight on the grey stone as the barley acres in the August night before the reaping-hook goes in amongst them. BY A WELL KNOWN PATH THOUGH THERE WAS NO PATH TILL ALL THE MOONLIGHT WAS QUENCHED UNDER THE CLOSE ROOF OF THE BEECH LEAVES THOUGH YET FOR ALL THE DARKNESS NO MAN COULD GO THERE AND NOT FEEL THAT THE ROOF WAS GREEN ABOVE HIM STILL HE WENT ON IN SPITE OF THE DARKNESS TILL AT LAST THERE WAS A GLIMMER BEFORE HIM THAT GREW GREATER TILL HE CAME UNTO A SMALL WOOD LAWN WHEREON THE TURF GREW AGAIN THOUGH THE GRASS WAS BUT THIN BECAUSE LITTLE SUNLIGHT GOT TO IT SO CLOSE AND THICK WERE THE TALL TREES ROUND ABOUT IT NOUGHT LOOKED THIODOLF EITHER AT THE HEAVENS ABOVE OR THE TREES AS HE STRODE FROM OFF THE HUSK STREWN FLOOR OF THE BEECH WOOD ON TO THE SCANTY GRASS OF THE LAWN BUT HIS EYES LOOKED STRAIGHT BEFORE HIM AT THAT WHICH WAS AMIDMOST OF THE LAWN AND LITTLE WONDER WAS THAT FOR THERE ON A STONE CHAIR SAT A WOMAN EXCEEDING FAIR CLAD IN GLITTERING RAIMENT HER HAIR LYING AS PALE IN THE MOONLIGHT ON THE GRAY STONE AS THE BARLEY ACRES IN THE AUGUST NIGHT BEFORE THE REAPING HOOK GOES IN AMONGST THEM
