In the heart of a great Southern plantation, on a hill overlooking the golden waters of the Pee Dee, guarded by gigantic oaks, and begirt with rose-bushes and honey-suckles, stood some years ago a stately white-and-green house. I ts broad verandas, massive fluted columns and airy rooms all marked it an ante-bellum mansion. A certain bright A pril day, quivering in the violet veil of the dawn, suddenly sent a stream of soft, silvery light through the wide east windows. Without, in highway, byway, orchard and open, numerous feathered songsters trilled and piped a merry matinee. The smell of newturned earth and bursting blossom, mingled with the delicate and delightful aroma of long-leaf pines, was in the air. A long the broad river meadows ragged gray wisps of mist rose, and, curling smoke-like toward the turquoise sky, left for the gaze a splendid stretch of dew-washed emerald, flecked here and there with snowy sheep.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

We never heard how many weeks of "jug" they got for this. CHAPTER X Privileges, Etc. Wilson only spent a few weeks with us, but his visit proved most profitable. We learned of the things we were entitled to and of the privileges accorded German prisoners in England. We decided to take a firm stand and demand certain rights for the Englishmen in the hospital. We officers formed ourselves into a committee and interviewed the Inspector. We told him about the way German prisoners were treated in England, explained to him that there were many men able to walk who needed fresh air and exercise, and demanded that a system similar to that in vogue in all the camps should be introduced into the hospital. In camps men are put on their parole and sent out in parties of thirty or forty, in charge of a guard of one officer and a non-commissioned officer, to take a two-hour walk in the country. On their return their parole is given back to them and they are free to attempt to escape if they wish. We explained the simplicity of this system to the Inspector, who promised to investigate the matter and make arrangements. The Inspector's name was Driessen.

He spoke English quite well and was, or pretended to be, very friendly towards English-speaking people.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
