Excerpt from Dew-Ponds

The Sussex Downs are the home of the dew-pond, and many a time for the whole of a day I have walked. Through dense fogs which have rolled In from the sea, and have finally taken their ¿ight, as from a jumping off ground, along the northern ridge of the downs be tween the Dyke and Plumpton. The trees, where there are any, such as the Holt, near Clayton, will then be seen and heard dro'pping water on to the leaf-soil below, whilst one's own garments become damp and clammy.
