Excerpt
To see at a glance the little hamlet of Babblecombeyou must stand upon the crest of the hill.
There in the coombe below, its half-a-dozen houses, thatched and whitewashed, snugly lie together close, like eggs of a greenfinch in a nest of twigs and moss. The road which wanders winding down the hill runs straight in front. The woods, which upon one side cover the steep, reach down to the slanting gardens at the back. The brook is so small and overgrown with bushes, you would never know it was there but for a gleam of silver where it feeds the mill.
