Motor-Flight Through France

Edith Wharton

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is a delightful country, broken into wide waves of hill and valley, with hedge-rows high and leafy enough to bear comparison with the Kentish hedges among which our motor had left us a day or two before; and the villages, the frequent, smiling, happily-placed villages, will also meet successfully the more serious chal lenge of their English rivals - meet it on other grounds and in other ways, with paved market places and clipped charmilles instead of gorse fringed commons, with soaring belfries instead of square church towers, with less of verdure, but more, perhaps, of outline - certainly of line.
