Excerpt from Doctor Syn: A Smuggler Tale of the Romney Marsh To Those who have small knowledge of Kent let me say that the fishing village of Dymchurch-under-the-wall lies on the south coast midway between two of the ancient Cinque ports, Romney and Hythe. In the days of George III, with Trafalgar still unfought, our coast watchmen swept with keen glasses this broad bend of the Channel; watched not for smugglers (for there was little in Dymchurch to attract the smuggler, with its flat coastline open all the way from Dover cliffs around Dungeness to Beachy Head), but for the French men-o'-war. In spite of being perilously open to the dangers of the French coast, Dymchurch was a happy little village in those days - aye, and prosperous, too, for the Squire, Sir Antony Cobtree, though in his younger days a wild and reckless adventurer, a gambler and a duellist, had, of late years, resolved himself into a pattern Kentish squire, generous to the village, and so vastly popular.

Excerpt from Doctor Syn: A Smuggler Tale of the Romney MarshThe little church was old and homely, within easy cry of the sea; and it was pleasant on Sunday evenings, during the Doctor's long extempore prayers, to hear the swish and the lapping and continual grinding of the waves upon the sand.But church would come to an end at last, as most good things will, although there was a large proportion of the congregation - especially among the younger members - who considered that they could have even too much of a good thing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
