Chapter V
THE BAIT IS SEIZED _They sat, gazing down the slope of the little vale. She was turning idly the pages of the book, and she read to him-- “Lovely all times she lies, lovely to-night!-- Only, methinks, some loss of habit’s power Befalls me wandering through this upland dim. Once pass’d I blindfold here, at any hour; Now seldom come I, since I came with him.” “It was here we first read the poem,” he said. “Every spot brings back some line of it.”
