Text Appearing Before Image: andmeadows, and an old farmhouse, with pointed roofs andclustered chimneys, looking out from its bloomingorchard, and backed by woody hills. The common isitself the prettiest part of the prospect ; half coveredwith low furze, whose golden blossoms reflect so intenselythe last beams of the setting sun, and alive with cowsand sheep, and two sets of cricketers ; one of youngmen, surrounded by spectators, some standing, somesitting, some stretched on the grass, all taking adelighted interest in the game ; the other, a merry groupof little boys, at a humble distance, for whom evencricket is scarcely lively enough, shouting, leaping, andenjoying themselves to their hearts content. Butcricketers and country boys are too important persons 24 OUR \1LLAGE in our village to be talked of merely as figures in thelandscape. They deserve an individual introduction—an essay to themselves—and they shall have it. Nofear of forgetting the good-humoured faces that meetus in our walks every day. ■M Text Appearing After Image: WALKS IN THE COUNTRY Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work. -
