Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Maurice Dering, or the Quadrilateral, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel
AT that shivered granite cross we seem to touch the point, where the collar-strain that has lasted for a long league Shall cease. Our sturdy little team know it too, for they break of their own accord from the stubborn slouching jog that no yells or oaths could quicken, into a brisk imitation of a trot a sharp swing round the hill-shoulder, and a couple of steep descents down which the dili gence staggers, rolling like a ship with over much deck-load, bring us right into the dreary, grey bourg Of Broons, where we, who travel eastward from St. Brieuc, must make our mid day halt.
