She had always been of an imaginative turn of mindand the doings of her early life, seen through the long-drawn vistas ofthe years, had become suffused with iridescent colours. They hadgathered to themselves romance as a wall overhung by trees gathers toitself moss and fern and lichen.
"Tell you a tale, " she would say. "Ay, but, honey-barns, I reckon you'llhave heerd all my tales lang sin. No? Well then, did I iver tell you t'tale o' Janet's Cove?" "Ay, thou's telled us yon last week, " Kester... Laycock, the spokesman ofthe party of listeners, would reply; "but thou mun tell it agean. " There was diplomacy as well as truth in Kester's words when he said thatGrannie had told them the story of Janet's Cove the preceding week. Thetruth was that she had told them that tale every week since winter setin, but nothing could stale its freshness for them. Besides, did notGrannie introduce surprising variations of narrative every time she toldit, so that it never seemed quite the same story?
"Janet's Cove" was a story of the birds, and Grannie's knowledge of thelife and habits of birds seemed wonderful to them.
