Distressed also in a queer way. Those memories of a Sussex village seemed to break down some of the hardness in which he had cased himself. I could see a frightful homesickness in his blue eyes. "P'raps I've seed the last o' Burpham," he said in a kind of whisper, so that the other men should not hear. The other men were from Arundel, Littlehampton, and Sussex villages. They were of Saxon breed.
From a far corner came a whistling trio, harmonized in a tune which for some reason made me think of hayfields in southern England. They belonged to a Sussex battalion, and I said, "Any one here from Burpham?" One of the boys sat up, stared, flushed to the roots of his yellow hair, and said, "Yes." I spoke to him of people I knew there, and he was astonished that I should know them.
Pulborough stands upon a hill, and is famous for its corn-market, to which people come from far and near, from as far off as Burpham or as close by as Bury. That is the title that such a book should have if it is to treat of the heart of West Sussex, and I make no doubt that such a book would be read lovingly by many men.
