'July visit to the West Country ...And instead of the clipped speech of the voices at home, crude and rough though it seems to those unused to it, here are men and women with smooth, sing-song voices that somehow seem exactly right in this easy, pastoral countryside where farming knows next to nothing of the durance it imposes in the east.'
C Henry Warren, The Land Is Yours, 1943, page 78
