For, during the visit of the King's Justiciar to the Marshes, hunting and hawking had seemed to be the order of the day, and lords and ladies, with their trains of hunts- men, falconers, and servitors, had scoured the wide countryside in search of sport. Herons and bitterns, in particular, had suffered ; and the smaller birds had been so often flushed and frightened that they either hid in terror or flew away with reckless speed when Renoult appeared near their accustomed haunts.
When spring wa...s well advanced, and the leaves were opening on the forest boughs and the marigolds were blooming by the now unused decoy, Renoult 's desire to wander far from home became stronger and still stronger. Out on a bright, fresh morning near the edge of a marsh along the river, he saw a heron that, from the condition of her damaged pinion, he recognised as the bird he had shot descending leisurely to the shores of a little lake in the THE WOUNDED HERON 107 midst of the swamp. He stole through the rushes and the alders till he reached a spot close to the lake ; and thence he watched the bird intently.
