Excerpt from The Daily Life of Our Farm
AT last the blessed rain! Cleansing the foul sewers, giving drink to the grass roots, washing mildew from the swedes, reinspiring the croquet lawn, bringing home the wells and refilling the old village ladies' tarred barrel reservoirs, delighting the young mudlarks - to be led off in screaming terror an hour hence by exasperated maternity - but, above all, dispelling the dread malaria of typhus and cholera.
