Excerpt from In a Green Shade: A Country CommentaryMy house is fortunately placed, too, in the village street, so that I am in touch with my neighbours and their daily concerns, which I make mine so far as they are pleased to allow it. I am aware of them all day long by half a hundred signs I know the trot of their horses, the horns of their motor-cars - that shows that there are not too many of them - the voices of their children, the death-shrieks of their pigs, the barking of their dogs. Not a day passes but one or other is in, to have some paper signed, to air a grievance, or to ask advice. The vicar and the minister are my good friends, and, I am glad to say, each other's. The far mers understand my ways (it is as much as I can expect of them), and the labourers like them. All this keeps the pores of the mind open you cannot stag nate if you are useful to other people. Nor - unless you are a fool - can you be strict with your categories.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
