Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Countess Diane Not far from the point of Mousterlin, which is west of Beg-Meil, there lies a stretch of Breton beach which the summer folk have not yet invaded. It is a wild and romantic strip of rock and sand with low, tumbling cliffs inclosing sheltered coves no bigger than the inside of a church. Behind the cliffs and, in places, coming down to the sea itself, are the fertile farm lands, dotted with orchards and cut with deep, winding lanes fringed with double rows of pollards. There are some quaint old farms along this beach; buildings of solid granite and built ever with an eye to strong defense, with battlemented roofs and embrasures for bow or harquebus. It was such an old place that Mr. Archibald Bower Deane, an American by birth and an artist by alleged occupation, had rented for a span of years as a sort of refuge to which he might retreat for the simple life when overworked by a tempestuous season in Paris, Nice or Monte Carlo.
