Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lob Lie-by-the-Fire: Or the Luck of Lingborough and Other Stories Not that he is insensible of the pleasures of rest, for " - When, in one night, ere glimpse of morn, His shadowy flail hath threshed the corn That ten day-laborers could not end, Then lies him down the Lubber-fiend, And, stretched out all the chimney´s length, Basks at the fire his hairy strength." It was said that a Lob Lie-by-the-fire once, haunted the little old Hall at Lingborough. It was an old stone house on the Borders, and seemed to have got its tints from the grey skies that hung above it. It was cold-looking without, but cosy within, "like a north-country heart," said Miss Kitty, who was a woman of sentiment, and kept a commonplace book. It was long before Miss Kitty´s time that Lob Lie-by-the-fire first came to Lingborough. Why and whence he came is not recorded, nor when and wherefore he withdrew his valuable help, which, as wages rose, and prices rose also would have been more welcome than ever.
