Oliver cut off a piece of cheddar. "Anyway, they took the books back to headquarters, and today they ordered us to switch to a different software package, one that will be standard at all their hospitals.
A fairly good road traverses the range from Frome to Cheddar or Burrington; and a ramble taken anywhere along its length will repay the pedestrian. Merriott, 2 m. N. of Crewkerne, is partly, occupied, like the neighbouring town, in the manufacture of sail-cloth.
From Taunton branches radiate to Minehead, Dulverton, Chard, and Yeovil. A branch line again connects Bristol with Frome, and access is obtained to Wells and Cheddar by a line from Yatton, skirting the W. base of the Mendips as far as Witham. A light railway serves the Wrington Vale, and another connects Weston with Clevedon.
Little villages cluster around the bases of the hills, the most noted being Cheddar, famous for its cheese, straggling about the entrance to a gorge in which caves are numerous, each closed by a door, where an admission-fee is charged. Some of them are lighted with gas and entered upon paved paths.

At Cheddar their W. edge is broken by a remarkable gorge, in the sides of which caves also occur. The level of the tableland is indented with "swallet holes," the chief of which are the East Water Swallet and the Devil's Punch-Bowl. The Quantocks are much less extensive, though their highest summits rise to a greater altitude.
Cheddar cheese has quite overshadowed the hills in my imagination. This might be a bit of Cumberland, or of the Highlands. 'It was my playground when I was a child, said Rhoda. 'You were born at Cheddar? 'No; at Axbridge, a little place not far off. But I had an uncle at Cheddar, a farmer, and very often stayed with him. My brother is farming there now. 'Axbridge?
Next summer I shall I hope I shall be at Cheddar, and then I shall come over to Clevedon and we shall laugh and talk as if we had never known a care. 'Ah, it that time were come! But you have done me good. I shall try She rose. 'I mustn't forget, said Rhoda, without looking at her, 'that I owe you thanks.
I want to help in that to train the reserve. 'But married woman are not idle, protested Monica earnestly. 'Not all of them. Some cook and rock cradles. Again Miss Nunn's mood changed.
