By lanes innumerable, deep between banks of fern and flower; by paths along the bramble-edge of scented meadows; by the secret windings of copse and brake and stream-worn valley a way lies upward to the long ridge of Haldon, where breezes sing among the pines, or sweep rustling through gorse and bracken.
