Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Half-Past Bedtime Here the grass was so tall that it tickled Marian´s chin. There were great daisies in it, taller than the grass, and they looked into Marian´s eyes. They had calm faces like Marian´s mummy´s nurney´s face, and they didn´t mind a bit when Marian picked them. There were also buttercups, shiny and fat, like the man in the butcher´s shop who was always smiling. This was such a big field that when Marian came to the middle of it the voices of the builders were quite faint, and the tinkle of their trowels on the edges of the bricks sounded like sheep-bells a long way off. When she turned round she could see the roofs of the houses, and the tops of the chimneys, and the spires of the churches all trembly because of the heat, as if they were tired and wanted to lie down. But they couldn´t lie down, although they were so much older and bigger and stronger than Marian. "I´d rather be me," thought Marian, and when she had picked a bundle of flowers she lay down in the deep grass. It was so hot that, when once they had become used to her, the stalks of the grasses stood quite still. She could sec hundreds and hundreds of them, like trees in a forest, or people in church waiting for the anthem. Up in the hills it was different. There the grasses were always moving - not running about, of course, but standing in the same place and bending to and fro, to and fro. Some of them would move, so her father had once told her, as much as four miles in a single day, just as far as it was from Marian´s house to the top of Fairbarrow Down.
