Around about my house is tangled
shrubbery of stunted brushwood, with
here and there a silver birch, young
beech and Scotch fir, and In one corner
stands an old clubhouse, where pipe is
good at all seasons. It is half in ruins.

the dingy old brown and gray wall was
spotted with oddly shaped blotches of
a darker tint, that looked like damp,
That same evening, however, l found
that the blotches had all disappeared,

roof was full of holes. The next day
they had all come back. When this had
happened a second time | looked more
