Mr. Jellybond heard a half-drowned shriek as he retired to the window. Thence, by the bright moonlight, he watched the little woman, with dripping garments clinging to her limbs, the skimpy tail of her dress draggling behind her and making her look like a white bantam on a wet day, as she stumbled across the lawn and down the drive. "It won't do you any harm, you dear," he said to himself, in his kind-hearted way. He had taken the water from the warm-water tap, so as not to give her too much of a shock.

Excerpt from Babs the ImpossibleHe had in his early youth travelled much and seen much of mankind, and then, because he wanted to com prehend, he came home. People go to the cities to see life but when they want to know life they return to the quiet fields.
