Excerpt from The Man on the Other Side
You perfectly exquisite, delicious, duck of a place, she said, and kissed her hand to it.
The house stood high, and she could see on the one hand the dust-white road winding for the whole mile to Mentmore station; on the other, green fields and good brown earth, wood land, valley, and hill, stretching to the wide spaces of the downs, beyond which lay the sea. In 1919, the year of the Great Peace, spring had come late, but in added and surpassing beauty. The great yearly miracle of creation was at its height, and behold, it was very good.
In front of her sat Sarah and Selina. The day's work was over. They had watched seeds planted and seeds watered. They had assisted at the staking of sweet peas and the two-hourly feeding of small chicken. Now they demanded, as their habit was, in short sharp barks of a distinctly irritating nature, that they should be taken for a walk.
Sarah and Selina were the sole extravagance of Ruth's forty years of life. They had been unwanted in a hard world. Aberdeens were out of fashion, and their sex, like Ruth's own in the struggle for existence, had been against them. So bare pennies which Ruth could ill afford had gone to the keep of Sarah and Selina, and in return they loved her as only a dog can love.
