And so we may wander back to St. Helier’s by the elegant ville of St.
Saviour’s, the living of the Dean of Jersey, and the largest church in
the islet; among richly cultivated grounds and gardens teeming with
myrtles and verbenas and fuchsias and amarillidæ, or we may wander yet
further afield amidst yet more beautiful nature—lanes fringed with
blushing hedges, and knolls of woody luxuriance, and banks and meadows
gemmed with floral wildings, and here and there a blossom most rare in
England; and we may perchance meet little groups of juveniles on their
way to drink warm milk at a dairy farm, and all this at an equable
temperature between 50° and 60°, purified by the occasional sprinkling
of a genial summer shower.
