"All this in front of us is called Ellersdeane Hollow," he remarked. "It's not just one depression, you see it's a tract of unenclosed land. It's dangerous to cross, except by the paths it's honeycombed all over with disused lead-mines some of the old shafts are a tremendous depth. All the same, you see, there's some tinker chap, or some gipsies, camped out down there and got a fire.
The town itself consisted of some sixty melancholy and distressful houses, bare, square, and flat-roofed, standing unenclosed along a dismal high-road, and with that congenitally shabby look, in spite of their newness, which seems to belong by nature to all southern buildings.
