Soon after turning the head of the gulf, the road swerved off to the west, and entered a narrow pass, between hills covered with thick copse-wood.

The tortured copse bends to and fro In silence like a shadow-show.

Pages eluded her, but here and there single lines or words caught her attention as a thorny copse catches and plucks the garments of one going blindly through it.

But no answer came; nor could he in that thick copse gain sight of him again.

Note how many there are deep-throated and bell-flowered like the pentstemons, how many have nodding pedicels as the columbine, how many grow in copse shelters and grow there only.

We must continue our excavations at Ladbarrow copse yonder.
