Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In High Places A Short, thick-set man, with a dark complexion and a gloomy countenance, came slowly through the mists of a summer dawn, on the Portsmouth Road, a few miles west of Godalming. The man walked wearily, like one who had walked far; and indeed the gait and manner of the wayfarer, the weather-stains upon his cloth jerkin, the dust and dew upon his boots, suggested that he had been tramping all through the summer night. The sun was creeping up behind Leith Hill as he left Godalming and trudged along the great high-road between wide wastes of marsh and common. A long stretch of wild, uninhabited land lay between him and the great hill of Hindhead; but he hoped to pass the Devil´s Punch Bowl before noon. Every door in Godalming had been inhospitably shut against him - even the doors of the inn, where coach and post-horses stopped. The High Street had not yet opened door or window to the morning freshness; not a single smoke-wreath rose in the grey air; and even at the forge, wont to be early astir, there was no glow of fire, or clicking of metal upon metal.
