A village string band plays its last Christmas rounds before the vicar swaps them for an organ, played by the new schoolmistress the carrier's son is courting. The fiddles go, the two marry, and she keeps one secret from him.

To dwellers in a wood almost every species of tree has its voice as well as its feature.
Under the Greenwood Tree, Thomas Hardy
