The old rector had long passed away; the shorts, gaiters, and smile -- a phantom; and nature, who had gathered in the past, was providing for the future. The pretty mill-road, running up through Redman's Dell, dank and dark with tall romantic trees, was left behind in another moment; and we were now traversing the homely and antique street of the little town, with its queer shops and solid steep-roofed residences. Up Church-street I contrived a peep at the old gray tower where the chimes hung; and as we turned the corner a glance at the \"Brandon Arms.\" How very small and low that palatial hostelry of my earlier recollections had grown! There were new faces at the door. It was only two-and-twenty years ago, and I was then but eleven years old. A retrospect of a score of years or so, at three-and-thirty, is a much vaster affair than a much longer one at fifty. The whole thing seemed like yesterday; and as I write, I open my eyes and start and cry, \"can it be twenty, five-and-twenty, aye, by Jove! five-and-thirty, years since then?\" How my days have flown! And I think when another such yesterday shall have arrived, where shall I be?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Floating Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135431229680,"sku":"9781775415268","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781775415268_p0.jpg?v=1763709172","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781775415268","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
