I often go into Woodmucket to visit one of my sons just for the noise, simply for the noise, miss, for nothink else in the world but the noise.

There's nothink like noise for soothing nerves that is worn threadbare with the quietude, miss, or at least that's my experience; and yet to a strynger the quietude of the plyce is its charm, undoubtedly its chief charm; and that is what our paying guests always say, although our charges are somewhat higher than other plyces.

If there's anythink you require, miss, I 'ope you'll mention it.

There is not a commodious assortment in Barbury Green, but we can always send the pony to Woodmucket in case of urgency.

Our paying guest last summer was a Mrs.Pollock, and she was by way of having sudden fancies.
