The Lame dog is a British soldier who came back from the Boar War with two shattered legs. The soldier keeps a diary to help with the boredom during his recovery. His diary is full of the people and local sayings of this small old fashioned and isolated village. The soldier falls in love with one of his visitors.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Chapter IP ebhafs curiosity has never been more keen nor mystery more baffling than has been the case during the last few weeks. There have been a few friends to tea at ahnost every house in the village to see if in this way any reasonable conclusions can be arrived at, and even Palestrina is satisfied with the number of people who have taken the trouble to walk up the hill and chat by my sofa in the afternoons. But although each lady who has called has said that she is in the secret, but at present is not at liberty to say anything about it, we are inclined to think that this is vain boiasting, or at least selfish reticence. The two Miss Traceys have announced to almost every caller at their little cottage during the last two years that they intend to build. We have all been naturally a good deal impressed by this statement, and although it was never plainly said what the structure was to be, we had had for a long time a notion of a detached house on the Common.
