The Broken Chariot (2016)
“‘Work, you bastards, work!’ he made Bert shout. ‘Flat out, day and night! Work! Keep at it!’ – then pulled him to rein but not before he had pictured a cartwheel, and a maniacal laugh with a thumb at his nose.
He passed through the area to reach his favourite strolling ground by the sluggish but insidious Trent, under towers of humming transmission lines, where surveyors were checking levels and mapping the alluvium to make roads and lay out factories.
The city spread its buildings for people t...o enjoy, better dwelling places than those on the crummy acres of the Meadows where Archie lived. The new estate across the river caused arguments when Cecilia said what a shame it was there’d soon be no countryside left. Her complaint reminded Herbert of tedious belly-aching books by D. H. Lawrence and others, who wanted people to live in cottages without bathrooms but with the Greenwood Tree at hand to dance around at the weekend; while at night they would read those same writers’ books by oil and candlelight.MoreLess
