Excerpt from Laura Creichton Stand on the top 0 Shooters' Hill upon a sunny day in the latter end of May, or during the first week in June, and everywhere there is sheeted hawthorn, fruit-blossom, labur num, lilac; great rounded masses of trees - sycamore and beech and elm; tight bouquets of gardens, pierced by slender steeples.
