Thomas Cadge was darkened with disapproval, he shifted his stubby brier pipe to the other corner of his mouth, edged a little from his seat on the sunny front stoop and, craning his neck around the corner of his house, revealed an unwashed area extending from collarbone to left ear. "Shet up, you kids!" he barked. "Wot for? Becos I say so, that's why.

The sea served base uses here, for the dust and dirt of many a cottage was daily cast into the lap of the great scavenger who carried all away.
She had prayed, by name, for each member of the Community; and as she prayed, a gift of love for each had been granted to her.
