Chapter XVI
THOR'S STONE. Mehetabel ran, neither along the way that led in the direction of Portsmouth, nor along that to Godalming, but to the Moor. "The Moor," is the marsh land that lies at the roots of the sandstone heights that culminate in Hind Head, Leith Hill, and the Devil's Jumps. As already said, the great mass of Bagshot sand lies upon a substratum of clay. The sand drinks in every drop of rain that falls on the surface.
