Excerpt from Colinette of Redmoon For hours the train rumbled steadily through a series of wonderful pictures. Not of rocks, rivers and tower ing mountains, but of stretches of green meadows bor dered by woodlands; of spotted cattle standing in shallow brooks; of farmers loading hay, or of farmers' wives hanging glistening washings to dry in the June-scented wind. Here a tangle - legged colt cavorted beside its quiet mother, and there a shepherd dog sprawled on a back doorstep, surrounded by her clumsy but huggable litter. There were many young and' happy things visible from the steadily moving train. There were young things aboard the train also; two girls of nearly the same age, and that, perhaps, fourteen years.
