Synopsis
Excerpt from Rambles and Reveries
It was seven O'clock on a lovely Sunday morning when: I left Manchester. The streets Of the city were sleeping in noiseless repose; and a spell of quiet pleasure lay on all the late excited scene, as we rode through East Lancashire and across the West Riding ofyorkshire - that picturesque land of hill and dale - so much changed since the days when Robin Hood and his merry men roved its gay greenwoods and forest glades. As the thick-chimneyed regions of manufacture faded away from the departing train, and varied scenes of rural beauty began to flit by the window, it was refreshing to feel myself gradually launch ing from the smoky shores of bustle into a sea of soothing greenery; where drowsy hamlets, and half-shaded farm steads, and little sequestered nests of country life, lay moored in peace amidst the quiet tide of returning verdure.
