Let us, then, imagine ourselves at Broadway, in Worcestershire, and at the Lygon Arms there. The village, still somewhat remote from railways, was once an important place on the London and W'orcester Road, and its long, three quarter-mile street is really as broad as its name implies; but since the disappearance of the coaches it has ceased to be the busy stage it once was, and has became, in the familiar ironic way of fortune, a haven of rest and quiet for those who are weary of the busy world; a home of artists amid the apple-orchards of the Vale of Evesham a slumberous place of old gabled houses, with mullioned and transomed Windows and Old-time vanities of architectural enrichment; for this is a district of fine building-stone, and the Old crafts men were not slow to take advantage of their material, in the artistic sort.
