Страница 140 - The very village was altered : it was larger and more populous. There were rows of houses which he had never seen before, and those which had been his familiar haunts had disappeared.
Страница 139 - ... of excellent Hollands. He was naturally a thirsty soul, and was soon tempted to repeat the draught.
