Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Thirteenth Man A strange, mournful song broke the stillness Of a hot July afternoon, and caused two pedestrians to come to a halt in a lane on which dust lay thick. On either side were high banks, surmounted by unclipped hedges. One of the pedestrians, a young and athletic man, had climbed the bank nearer to him in a second, and was peering through a gap in the hedge, where nothing met his gaze but miles Of smiling country, dotted by farms at long intervals, a bungalow covered with rambler roses, and a white house on the border of a wood.
