Excerpt from Sketches in Lavender, Blue, and Green
The old landlord talked, and I harkened, the while we both sat drinking thin ale from earth enware mugs, late one summer's evening, on the bench that runs along the wall just beneath the latticed windows; and during the many pauses, when the Old landlord stopped to puff his pipe in Silence and lay in a new stock of breath, there came to us the murmuring voices of the Atlantic; and Often, mingled with the pompous roar of the big breakers farther out, we would hear the rippling laugh Of some small wave that, maybe, had crept in to listen to the tale the land lord told.
