An Excerpt from 'Winter in Devonshire', from 'Harper's New Monthly Magazine', January 1886.
The beach was crowded with people, for it was early morning and fine weather, and all Torquay was abroad. Some were sauntering on the beach, others on the terraces, and several invalids were being slowly drawn up and down in bathchairs in the white streak of sunlight that divided the rocky beach from the first terrace, and it was hard to bear in mind that this was actual wintertime, and in England.
