Book Description
Excerpt from The Pomp of the Lavilettes Lawrence, stretched away into the English prc Vince. The farmhouses and the long strips of land were in such regular procession, it might almost have seemed to the eye of the whimsical spectator that the houses and the ribbon were of a piece, and had been set down there, Sentinel after sentinel, like so many toy soldiers, along the banks of the great river. There was one important break in the long line of precise settle ment, and that was where the Parish Church, about the middle of the line, had gathered round it a score or so of buildings. But this only added to the strength of the line rather than broke its uniformity. Wide stretches of meadow-land reached back from the Parish Church until thev were lost in the darker verdure of the hills. On either side of the Parish Church, with its tall, stone tower, were two stout-built houses, set among trees and Shrubbery. They were low set, broad and square, with heavy - studded, old fashioned doors. The roofs were steep and high.
