The History of Aythan Waring (Classic Reprint)
(Where the highroad is free of Llangarth town and makes we...)
Where the highroad is free of Llangarth town and makes westward past the almshouses the birdhaunted hedges sent out a cloud of disturbed occupants. Noisy themselves, the sparrows and chaffinches resented the clamour of boys voices, which had drawn a couple of old crones to their doors. The reason of the uproar was invisible, but it was evidently approaching behind the angle that a white washed building made upon the side-path. Female tones, rough and abusive, rose above the sound of cries, footsteps, jeers, and shrill laughter. Bound the corner came the figure of a woman walking in the middle of the road and pursued by a crowd of urchins of varying ages. It had not long stopped raining, and the water splashed under her heavy tread; when, now and again, a venturesome brat came close behind her, she would turn suddenly, making the mud fly as she plunged back into the shouting flock.
