The Fool had a story about three stars that he had seen rolling down the Grey Hill, and behold, when they got to the bottom "little bright nickety things, like new saxpennies it was suddenly so dark that Dicky had to light his lantern and grope his way home with that, and all the frogs began croaking down in the marsh 'something terrible' now what was the meaning of that?"

Sir Hugh Walpole - Fortitude
