Product Description
Excerpt from Out of Her Sphere, Vol. 1 of 3 A Chill evening in the middle of September, with a keen wind, that seemed to speak already of the coming winter, blowing from the great North Sea, over the long bare sea coast, which, unbroken by a single cliff, was so monotonous as almost to be grand in its sameness, one long level of sand stretching along for miles.
