Excerpt from The Haunts of Men
Breathless, spellbound, she moved on tiptoe to the porch, one hand pressed trembling across her lips. The field Of oats shimmered a moment before her eyes, then a blue mass swung into it and it melted away, sheered to the earth in glimmering swathes as gilded grain falls at the sickle's sparkle. And the men in blue covered the earth, the world, her world, which stretched from the orchard to Benson's Hill.
There was something on Benson's Hill that she had never before seen. It looked like a brook in'the sunshine; it was a column of infantry, ries slant ing in the sun.
