The sweep of the land, and the shelter of the bay, the shoaling of the shore without a rock to break it, the headland that shuts out both wind and waves; and outside the headland, off Pebbleridge, deep water for a fleet of line-of-battle ships to anchor and command the land approaches moreover, a stream of the purest water from deep and never-failing springs Darling, the place of all places in England for the French to land is opposite to your front door."
'Member when we used to think it a treat to turn out of our beds on a Sunday morning thermometer fifty-seven degrees if it was summer and bathe off the Pebbleridge? Ugh!"

I did hear tell of him over to Pebbleridge; but not likely, so nigh to his own mother, and never come no nigher. And if they furrin parts puts on the hair so heavily, who could 'a known him to Pebbleridge? They never was like we be. They'd as lief tell a lie as look at you, over there."
You are the very man I wanted. There has been a sad accident in there with one of the Admiral's pistols, and the dear old man is badly wounded. I am off for a doctor, for my horse is at hand.

Seven years, my dearly beloved 'earers though not prefects." "Not half bad years, either," said McTurk. "I shall be sorry to leave the old Coll.; shan't you?" They looked out over the sea creaming along the Pebbleridge in the clear winter light. "Wonder where we shall all be this time next year?" said Stalky absently. "This time five years," said McTurk.
One day he was walking in a melancholy mood along the beach towards Pebbleridge, doubting deeply in his honest mind whether he ever should do any good, in versification, or anything else. He said to himself that he had been too sanguine, eager, self-confident, ardent, impetuous, and, if the nasty word must be faced, even too self-conceited.
But my own cousin Bob was coming home one night from a bit of sweethearting at Pebbleridge, when, to save the risk of rabbit-holes in the dark, for he put out his knee-cap one time, what does he do but take the path inland through the wood below Carne Castle the opposite side to where you was, Master Cheeseman, and the same side as the moon would be, only she wasn't up that night.
