bright-bound

Updated: May 7, 2025

The bustle, which is not the careworn anxious haste of business; the rushing to and fro; the greetings of friends; the smiles; the shifting of the groups, some coming, and some going plump and rosy, it is really charming. One has a fancy dog, another a bright-bound novel; very many have cavaliers; and look at the piles of luggage!

Richard Jefferies - The Open Air
