Excerpt from Downland EchoesThere were two principal types in the village. First, men with thin faces and noses and dark hair and eyes - eyes that were set near each other and did not easily look you straight in the face. Perhaps - indeed, most likely - their ancestors were Britons, Britons who were never altogether driven westward by the invader.The other men were fair of hair and fresh faced - faces inclining to roundness, with big noses and light eyes. Anglo-saxon these. Men that got louder and more quarrelsome than the dark-faced men when drunk - if so be that they drank, but men you would sooner quarrel with, all the same - that is, if your quarrel were not to be a lasting one.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
