Honesty's Garden (Classic Reprint)

Creswick, Paul

Honesty's Garden (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Honesty's Garden

A speckled thrush, puffing his plum chest, called once - twice - from the highest twig on the highest branch of the pear-tree near my window. I heard presently answering notes, slightly petulant, perhaps. The rain had fallen sweetly during the night, turning all the lumpy, hard ground soft and fragrant, and cleansing the rose trees of blight. The close lawn was sparkling under the early sun, as though sprinkled by some lavish magic hand with millions of diamonds.

Already the sun was well above the hills across the valley, flinging slant rays reproachfully towards us. The cuckoo's sly notes sounded from the deep woods beyond the village, he invited folk to awake - to leave their warm nests.
