Excerpt from The Hidden Valley
The meadow-sweet was turning to seed, the massed ranks of herb-robert hung heavy beads upon the bank, and a faint odour of decay rose from the huddled rushes.
Sheila breathed it in deeply with an odd satisfaction. Everything that belonged to the river appealed to her; from the shy moorhens that scuttled away at the sound of her pad dle to the rush of water over the weir - forbidden ground and therefore alluring.
