Some other hills lay a little more to the south, but there was nothing to choose between them; hills also ran along eastward and north-eastwards.

The top of Toft End is the highest land in the Five Towns, and from it may be clearly seen all the lurid evidences of manufacture which sweep across the borders of the sky on north, east, west, and south.

'And you? said Burney at last. 'I I'd have shared the same fate if it hadn't been for old Othman Pasha.
