Excerpt from Way of Life

He stood still' now in the middle of the village street, looking, listening too, marveling, letting it soak in, his thought idling the corners of his eyes and mouth relaxing from their tightness. Older than time, and neat, and the quiet of it! God, it gives you a catch in the throat! Apart from those damn planes all you can hear is bees, and birds, and once in a while the voices of chil dren that you can't see, and the beech leaves rustling, and will you get an eyeful of the flowers everywhere?

He let out a trickle of cigarette smoke, flicked off the ash. The hush to it is as though you'd stepped into an Open-air cathe dral, the trees the pillars, so that you want to take off your hat and walk on tiptoe, only you'd feel like a dope doing it.
