Gallops

by David Gray

Excerpt from Gallops
The bishop settled himself in an arm-chair, crossed his short legs, and gave a sigh of relief and comfort Through the open window he could see the hills across the valley and the two spires of Oakdale village. There was a gleam of silver in the bottom-lands where a bend of the river revealed itself. Out of doors the air was hot with the afternoon sun and murmurous with insect noises, but the large drawing-room was pleasantly darkened and cool. The bishop felt that he had earned peace, and meant to enjoy it.
