"SUNDOWNER'S" ARTICLES
Sir,-I hope the articles on country life which have been appearing in The Listener will be continued indefinitely. The style is accurate and sinewy, They recall "Rural Rides" in their vigour, absence of trimmings" and direct simplicity; but without, of course, the invective of that classic work, They possess that indefinable something which can only be described as. charm. Is this (do you. think?) heightened by @ faint but pervasive melancholy which seems to ‘say: I have studied the Problem of Evil but have failed to convince myself that all is for the best in this best of _ all possible worlds; or even that the sum of good outweighs the evil? _- I hope "Sundowner’s". modesty permits him to accept this small tribute; that we may long enjoy the fruits of his experience, his insight, and his detachment in lucid English prose,
VINCENT COUNTY
