The Snug

'A sluggish indolence pervades.
The stranger, coaxing his boat up-river in a sudden windless calm, ignoring the busy harbour, casts anchor with a yawn beside pool or creek, then lolls by the tiller, too idle to row ashore.
Peace prevails. The tide ebbs. The trees darken, the birds are hushed and there is no sound except the whisper of water past the anchor chain or the call of the night jar.'

Daphne du Maurier ‘Vanishing Cornwall’
