Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Loiterer in New England There was a section of New England which we knew as children as we know our pockets. And our pockets were worth knowing in those days, I fancy, - chewing gum, pickled limes, blackjacks, and gibraltars. You have not seen it for years, yet there it lies - peaceful, serene, eternal - with that sweet wild tang - exactly as we knew it together as ardent, eager, adventurous children. True there were no "electrics" then circling the cape we tramped so diligently on our voyages of discovery. The "barge" was our occasional vehicle, the front seat, high beside the driver, our place, the ride up from Rockport harried by the haunting uncertainty as to our status - guests or passengers. As guests we were dropped familiarly at the Linwood, the terminus of the route, but when, for some reason obscured from our childish comprehension, it was necessary to charge us, we were made aware of It by the cracking of the whip and swift rounding of the curve which landed us grandly at our destination. Though the fee was enormous the transaction was proudly tacit. We never dreamed of asking. On Dogtown Common a few boulders have disintegrated, leaving strange, rough, pebbly heaps; but the same cows wander through the blueberry bushes over its eerie vastness, and stop, surprised at the rare sight of an intruding human.
