I never have been sure myself. Sometimes
I've thought I heard it.
Mrs. Orr.
I can understand
How one could easily imagine it.
Mrs. Egerton.
If you could be here when the house is still,
Alone——
Mrs. Orr.
In certain moods, perhaps I should.
For certainly the trees seem most alive.
I never would have thought it possible
To make a forest live and life go on
In wood as it does here. 'Tis wonderful.
(Mrs. Egerton glances across into the room, forward right, from which comes a sound of merriment)
