Excerpt from Life Amongst the Sandbags

Along stretch of flat country, straight ahead a forest of regularly set hop-poles, in the distance to the right more hop-poles and large open fields, with here and there an isolated cottage, or a group of farm buildings, on the horizon, surmounted by a windmill, a low hill, from the foot of which leads a long symmetrical avenue of trees, marking a main road. To the left a similar view - stretches of plough-land, small somnolent villages, scattered about at random on these bleak and dreary plains.
