Excerpt from The Root of All Evil

Savilestowe a narrow lane suddenly opened out between the cottages and turned abruptly towards the uplands which rose on the northern edge of the village. Its first course lay between high grey walls, overhung with ivy and snapdragon. When it emerged from their cool shadowings the Church came in View on one hand and the school on the other, each set on its own green knoll and stand ing high above the meadows. Once past these it became narrower and more tortuous; the banks on either side rose steeply, and were crowned by an cient oaks and elms. In the proper season of the year these banks were thick with celandine and anemone, and the scent of hedge violets rose from the moss among the spreading roots of the trees.
