The houses are dingy and colourless,\u003cbr\u003eand without relief of any kind. So are those in the next row, so in the\u003cbr\u003estreet beyond, and throughout the whole village. There is a dreary\u003cbr\u003emonotony about the place; and if some giant could come and pick up all\u003cbr\u003ethe rows of houses, and change their places one with another, it is a\u003cbr\u003equestion whether the men, now away at work, would notice any difference\u003cbr\u003ewhatever until they entered the houses standing in the place of those\u003cbr\u003ewhich they had left in the morning. There is a church, and a vicarage\u003cbr\u003ehalf hidden away in the trees in its pretty old-fashioned garden; there\u003cbr\u003eare two or three small red-bricked dissenting chapels, and the doctor's\u003cbr\u003ehouse, with a bright brass knocker and plate on the door. There are no\u003cbr\u003eother buildings above the common average of mining villages; and it\u003cbr\u003eneeds not the high chimneys, and engine-houses with winding gear,\u003cbr\u003edotting the surrounding country, to notify the fact that Stokebridge is\u003cbr\u003ea mining village.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a little past noon, and many of the women come to their doors and\u003cbr\u003elook curiously after a miner, who, in his working clothes, and black\u003cbr\u003ewith coal-dust, walks rapidly towards his house, with his head bent\u003cbr\u003edown, and his thick felt hat slouched over his eyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's Bill Haden; he works at the 'Vaughan.'\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"What brings he up at this hour?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Summat wrong, I'll be bound.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147469865200,"sku":"2940013290471","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013290471_p0.jpg?v=1763590611","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013290471","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
