of house stands empty, month after month, for perhaps a couple of years.
People can't altogether understand why. Must be that the owners wanted too much for it, and so on. Nice plece of ground all round it, pleasant views yet sheltered, handy to a village and plenty of water.
Then one day the boards come down. curtains appear at the windows, the gar- den borders take on a cared-for appear- ance, and folk cense to wonder, except And what the new people will be like, that they'll find out all in good time.
Accidents occurred again and again at a certain cross-roads. So many inquiries were held yet nothing ever seemed to get dono about it, as we say. The road service man had only to turn his back or go to a near-by cottage for a cup of tea, and there'd be a smash sure enough.
Hedges were out back, corners were rounded, but as soon as the crops grew, the long, rich ears of the wheat ripening for harvest shut out the view of oncoming cross-wise trame heading for a holiday coast.
Then the tragedies piled up. The apot became notorious. Folk saun- tered out to it on a Sunday after- noon hall expecting the walk might be enlivened by a sight of Narrow DQUcaks and even crashes,
