<DIV>“In the station yard at Wittering, Mrs Chinnery’s old victoria stood
waiting. The train was late; it was very hot. William the gardener sat on the
box in his buff-coloured coat with the plated buttons flicking the flies off.
The flies were troublesome. They had gathered in little brown clusters on the
horses’ ears. He flicked his whip; the old mare stamped her hoofs; and shook her
ears, for the flies had settled again. It was very hot. The sun beat down on the
station yard, on the carts and flies and traps waiting for the train.”</DIV>
