Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from After Many Days: An Anglo-American Romance
To the right of the lane, fields of corn sweep away to the skirts of a distant wood, whose gloomy stretches of fir and pine make fitting contrast for silver birch and youthful oak.
At no season of the year is this road unbeautiful. The great hedge is perhaps fairest in its young green glory of the spring; or it is as fair when the giant brambles show cloud on cloud of clustered blossoms, or when the clouds melt and the petals drift like perfumed snow and leave the little berries to grow and blacken and glisten in the yellow autumn sun.
One warm summer's day two girls came wandering down the road.
Oh, Addice, isn't it true, cried one, that all the biggest blackberries and all the loveliest honeysuckle grow right on the top where we can't reach them?
