Harvest (Hardcover)

1920. Frontispiece by Allan Gilbert. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was immortalized as a character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. Harvest begins: Two old laborers came out of the lane leading to Great End Farm. Both carried bags slung on sticks over their shoulders. One, the eldest and tallest, was a handsome fellow, with regular features and a delicately humorous mouth. His stoop and his slouching gait, the gray locks also, which straggled from under his broad hat, showed him an old man-probably very near his old-age pension. But he carried still with him a look of youth, and he had been a splendid creature in this time. The other was short of stature and of neck, bent besides by field work. A broadly-build, clumsy man, with something gnome-like about him, and the cheerful look of one whose country nerves had never known the touch of worry or long sickness. The name of the taller man was Peter Halsey, and Joseph Batts was his companion. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
