The Handbook to the Rivers and Broads of Norfolk and Suffolk
Excerpt from The Handbook to the Rivers and Broads of Norfolk and Suffolk
AS a general rule, visitors from a distance behave exceedingly well, being educated persons with a due sense of law and order. The bottle Shooters, coot potters, and noisy revellers, the swan's egg robbers and grebe destroyers, the persons who use one's boat-houses as luncheon rooms or dust bins are, unfortunately, home products. Of course, I hear of all offences that are committed, and by some people I am actually saddled with the responsibility of any breach of good manners on the part of the public, because I am supposed to have brought the latter to the Broads. I therefore beg the large unknown public (of whose friendliness to me as an author I have had so many proofs), when they visit the Broads, not to allow the exhilaration of an enjoyable holiday to interfere with a due propriety of behaviour.
