Excerpt from The Shuttle of Fate
All this is a strange contrast to the newer part Of the valley, where streets, laid to a very straight rule, run up the hills, having on either side long rows Of trim and tidy cottages, each cottage the exact counterpart Of its next-door neighbour. These streets are well paved, and have footpaths of wide and level flagstone rock.
