Remains of a Roman Camp at Silchester, England
Mr. A. "True, vipers frequent those turfy, boggy grounds and I have known several turf-cutters bitten by them."
William. "They are very venomous, are they not?"
Mr. A. "Enough so to make their wounds painful and dangerous, though they seldom prove fatal."
William. "Well, I then took my course up to the windmill on the mount. I climbed up the steps of the mill in order to get a better view of the country round. What an extensive prospect! I counted fifteen church steeples, and I saw several gentlemen's houses peeping out from the midst of green woods and plantations; and I could trace the windings of the river all along the low grounds, till it was lost behind a ridge of hills. But I'll tell you what I mean to do, sir, if you will give me leave."
Mr. A. "What is that?"
William. "I will go again, and take with me Carey's country map, by which I shall probably be able to make out most of the places."
Mr. A. "You shall have it, and I will go with you, and take my pocket spying-glass."
