Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Merry Men, and Other Tales and Fables, And, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde The road that I followed was a cattle-track. It twisted so as nearly to double the length of my jour ney; it went over rough boulders so that a man had to leap from one to another, and through soft bottoms where the moss came nearly to the knee. There was no cultivation anywhere, and not one house in the ten miles from Grisapol to Aros. Houses of course there were - three at least; but they lay so far on the one side or the other that no stranger could have found them from the track. A large part of the Ross is covered with big granite rocks, some of them larger than a two roomed house, one beside another, with fern and deep heather in between them where the vipers breed. Any way the wind was, it was always sea air, as salt as on a ship; the gulls were as free as moorfowl over all the Ross; and whenever the way rose a little, your eye would kindle with the brightness of the sea. From the very midst of the land, on a day of wind and a high spring, I have heard the Roost roaring like a battle where it runs by Aros, and the great and fearful voices of the breakers that we call the Merry Men. Aros itself Aros Jay, I have heard the natives call it, and they say it means the Home of God - Aros itself was not properly a piece of the Ross, nor was it quite an islet. Lt formed the south-west corner of the land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
