The Vicar of the Marches (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Vicar of the Marches Having gained my beloved haunt, instead of making a fresh disposition of my belongings, as was usually my custom each time I visited the tower, I became absorbed in the efforts of a kite to capture some agile bird of the sparrow species, a fierce game of retreat and pursuit which was taking place in that saffron space of sky com manded by the large easterly-looking window. The contest was a protracted one, and I was still engaged in following it when drowsiness overtook me. The cushions offered a tempting resting haven, and with a little childish sigh of content ment, I sank back among them.
