It's a dull life I've been leading, thought the road, and took the greatest interest in the events of each day, and looked eagerly at every traveller, and though it was keenly mortified by their comments on its roughness, or its length, or the steepness of its declivities, it was delighted with the improvement in its condition. But, disgusted by these oft-recurring and unwarrantable in trusions, all the animals abandoned their ancient right of way, and were twitted by the birds (who remained) with cowardice. The squirrels frisking up into the t0ps of the trees saw vehicles a-many roll by now in ever increasing variety and numbers. The grass gave up the battle and retired from the field. The road felt that it could not be mistaken for anything but a road again, and that he who ran, or rather drove, must see at a glance that it was a highway of importance; but it longed for quiet sometimes. Armies of red-coats came tramp, tramp, tramping over it after a while, following in the wake of the knights and carrying the same standard.
