Book Description
Excerpt from The Battle of the Weak, or Gossips Green String work they called it, and sedate matrons grum bled prodigiously because all the young girls would insist on doing string work instead of taking respectable service. So that the innocent making of fishing nets became a minor vice, a suggested indecorum. Gossips Green! It had all the shaming elements of a toy village. The church was covered with ivy. The shops had bulging panes that winked and dimpled on the slightest encouragement from the sun. And there was, to complete the picture, a group of elms in which the troubled rooks kept all on cawing. People were very proud of these elms; watched them grow big with bud in spring-time, trembled for their safety when winter storms went screaming and moaning all along the desolate shore. For outside the village - and this it was that made its decorous, well-bred air so anomalous the country was wild, hilly, treeless. Gaunt farm houses, widely scattered, were swept by every wind that blew. Sheep huddled on the hillside, and the few poor trees that there were ung themselves backwards, putting out their timid stalks and foliage towards the inland country and away from the snarling line of yellow beach.
