Synopsis
Excerpt from The Plunger: A Turf Tragedy of Five-and-Twenty Years Ago
There were no tumbledown mud and stud cottages with broken windows and ragged thatched roofs in Saxham, but the inhabitants dwelt in limestone houses, with diamond-glazed lattices, with bright flower-decked little gardens in front of their doors, and with a well-to-lo air about their tenements, that it would be good to see in every village in the country.
