It must be confessed that at that moment he had no very agreeable employment either for his moral or his physical perceptions. The day was dawning from a patch of watery light in the east and sullen clouds came driving up before it, from which the rain descended in a thick mist. It streamed from every twig and bramble in the hedge, made little gullies in the hedge, made little gullies in the path, ran down a hundred channels in the road and punched innumerable holes in the face of every pond and gutter. It fell with an oozy slushy sound among the grass and made a muddy kennel of every furrow in the ploughed fields.
