Explain the line, “And years that fade and flush again.”
When there was a strong wind, the pine trees made sad, eerie sounds that kept most people to the main road. But Mr. Oliver was not a nervous or imaginative man.

When its flickering light fell on the figure of a boy, who was sitting alone on a rock, Mr. Oliver stopped.
