"I don't know whether you are a wood nymph or just a sort of human Angel." he .said returning it to her, "but 1 was longing for a drink, and 1 more than appreciate your thoughtful- ness. 1 always felt I should know a nymph it 1 saw her-that like you, she would be all in brown, with a hint of wild roses in her cheeks and sunlight in her hair. Won't you sit down, Wood Nymph?" he added politely, spreading out his coat by the roadside.
