The guest woke up from his dream remembering the exciting information heâs getting this day , he threw himself out of bed and hurriedly dressed up for this day . He was positive that the lady had the information he desperately wanted by the way her shy self looked the other day , he thinks that she herself is most persuaded to tell him now ! Speaking of the lady , here she comes now . As she walks in the guest can tell that she is filled with sorrow and guilt , even her old frock is torn with her feelings . Her grandmother and sportsman stand at the door and start questioning her about the dead hemlock-tree by the green marsh . Sylvia finally speaks up and with a trembling tongue she tells them about the dead hemlock-tree and white heron . The guest was filled with excitement and rushed to the heron's location , but the lady watched as he hurried to the bird's location and already had tears covering her vision . She thinks about her loyalty now and sinks in a sea filled with guilt , her loyalty suffers an attack as sharp as a sword and now she canât do anything but watch as the hunter finally catches the heron . The birds were her friends and now she canât help but cry whenever she sees one . Whatever treasures were lost to her that day are treasures she will forever remember but remember to NOT bring your gifts and graces to this child for she will tell the person who wants your item and watch from afar and see how these words impact your life .
