A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Where the highroad is free of Llangarth town and makes westward past the almshouses the bird-haunted hedges sent out a cloud of disturbed occupants. Noisy themselves, the sparrows and chaffinches resented the clamour of boys voices which had drawn a couple of old crones to their doors. The reason of the uproar was invisible, but it was evidently approaching behind the angle that a whitewashed building made upon the side-path. Female tones, rough and abusive, rose above the sound of cries, footsteps, jeers and shrill laughter. Round the corner came the figure of a woman walking in the middle of the road and pursued by a crowd of urchins of varying ages. It had not long stopped raining and the water splashed under her heavy tread; when, now and again, a venturesome brat came close behind her, she would turn suddenly, making the mud fly as she plunged back into the shouting flock. Had it not been for her .basket and bundle and the shawl that encumbered her arms her tormentors would have kept a good deal further in her wake; for Mad Moll was of a strength and stature uncommon to womanhood, and the hands that grasped her load were knotted like those of a man, while her square shoulders made her height seem even greater than it was.
