As I remarked to Eliza, it would probably have created a feeling of surprise among the villagers if they had learned that, as a rule, my professional duties took me to the city in the morning.

Excerpt: ...country. Danstow is a picturesque little village, and looked beautiful in the hot sunlight. I was wearing a fairly new summer suit, with brown boots. As I remarked to Eliza, it would probably have created a feeling of surprise among the villagers if they had learned that, as a rule, my professional duties took me to the city in the morning. Eliza said: "All right. What do we do here?" "Why," I said, "there's the old church. We mustn't miss that." We went and examined the old church.

We sat down under the hedge, and finished our sandwiches and milk. The church clock struck nine. "What train do we go back by?" asked Eliza. "Not until half-past nine to-night. There's a day for you!" "Twelve hours and a half," said Eliza. "And we've done the sandwiches, and done the milk, and done the church, and there's nothing else to do." "Except amuse ourselves," I added, as I took off my boots, which had pained me slightly. I then dozed off.
