DOWN A GKEEN LANE ! 



the lane we emerge into the sunlight. The hill- 

 side begins to rnelt into the valley. Sunlit 

 meadows, gently- sloping wood-covered uplands, 

 orchards, and fruit-gardens are combined in ex- 

 quisite variety in the scene before us. Now, 

 between leafy interstices in tree and shrub, we 

 sight some white-walled cottages. Then, as we 

 pursue our winding path, we are again lost under 

 a leafy canopy, as hedge-banks once more close 

 in upon us. Anon an intermingling of hedges, 

 meadows, and houses ; and then our charming 

 green lane abuts upon a winding road which leads 

 away to the town.
