Synopsis
Excerpt from Ryle's Open Gate
IT was in October of last year that Robin and I planned a ramble through the south side of Long Island. Our plan took us to the uttermost point eastward; our buck board got no farther than Craddock. For, within a mile of that village, a furious storm overtook us and we were glad to run under cover out of the rain.
Our shelter proved to be a ruined woodshed that was part of an old homestead, a habita tion so old, and withal so singularly home like, as to assure me at once of its being a survival of the antiquities of this quaint old place.
