Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of Bessie Costrell
An elderly labourer was walking along the road which led to the village. To his right lay the allotment gardens just begin ning to be alive with figures, and the voices of men. And children. Beyond them, far ahead, rose the square tower of the church; to his left was the hill, and straight in front of him' the village, with its veils of smoke lightly brushed over the trees, and its lines of cottages climbing the chalk steeps behind it. His eye as he walked took in a number of such facts as life had trained it to notice. Once he stopped to bend over a fence.
