valley-ground

Updated: June 27, 2025

Throughout the vast open country all round us, not even a breath of air could be heard. The night-birds were away, or were silent at the time. But one sound was audible, when we stood still and listened the cool quiet bubble of a little stream, lost to view in the valley-ground to the south. "I have told you already," I said. "So still a night I never remember on this Yorkshire moor."
