Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Yaxley and Its Neighbourhood, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel in Three Volumes
IT was one of those winter nights common to our climate; the sky deep blue; myriads of stars twinkling down upon the hard earth; frost thick upon window-panes and white upon roadside hedges; street puddles frozen - ice everywhere abroad. Many a tender garden plant was that night meekly receiving its death-stroke, while others more hardy drooped their leaves under the crisp coating they had received the snail and the worm had hidden themselves away deep in the earth's bosom; vegetation was at a stand.
