Excerpt from Topham's Folly One little group he detected working apart from the rest - a woman clad like the others in cotton dress and sun-bonnet, whose shading eaves hid her face from him, and three children, a girl and two boys, the girl a Copy of her mother save that her frock was protected by a pinafore, the boys in blue shirts and well-patched nether garments, whose curious shape betrayed labori ous fashioning from some discarded paternal pair, and trundled along with them and never staid beyond the mother's sight or call of her voice, a baby girl in a hand-made cart of wood, Sitting contentedly on a little heap of clean sacking. Old Fall, seeing work slackening as across the fields from the house came a procession of youths and maids bearing baskets and cans, cans that gleamed like Silver when the sun caught: them, turned and trotted his cob towards this same little group.
