Though tired after their week's labor, the men laughed and chatted and bandied each other with all the jocundity of fair-day rol lickers; and despite their weariness, appeared happy and contented as they poured out of the numerous workshops into the large rectangular yard, about which the buildings were grouped, thence under the arch, past the Office window, and out into the village square.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
