"He'd lived in Germany for a long while," she said, "and people admitted that Germany had changed after the War ... grown coarser and leas kindly!..." They talked on in this strain until the clock chimed twelve.
There were sedges and rushes, too, in the bogs, and coarse grass on the forest pastures or "leas" as we call them to this day round here but no real green fields; and, I suspect, very few gay flowers, save in spring the sheets of golden gorse, and in summer the purple heather. Such was old England or rather, such was this land before it was England; a far sadder, damper, poorer land than now.
