The Adventures Of Tom Leigh (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Daniel Defoe It was now summer. The heather on the moors came into bloom, so that when I went out one Sunday afternoon with Harry, as had become our habit, I was amazed by the great stretches of purple which rolled away on every hand. The cotton grass was out too, clustering in the moorland hollows, the white silky heads dancing in the wind on their slender stems; the green bracken on the middle slopes was almost head-high. For there was plenty of wind and rain; it was a poor, cold summer. This vexed Mr. Firth, for the season had so far been good and the oats and hay were both well advanced and ready for harvest. However, he and Josiah at length mowed the hay and carried it into the barn, with Mrs. Firth and me and even little Gracie helping to turn and fork it. Jeremy would not lift a hand to help; he said he was a journeyman weaver and had naught (“nowt”, as he said) to do with crops. Mr. Firth was put-out by this at first, but was glad enough that there was a piece ready for him to take to market on Saturday.
