L41-3: Illusions ofPastoral peace
For them this is amajor operation which involves considerable planning. As the play draws to itsclose, they wonder whether they will ever catch that last train home. The citydweller never experiences anxieties of this sort. The latest exhibitions, films,or plays are only a short bus ride away. Shopping, too, is always a pleasure.There is so much variety that you never have to make do with second best.Country people run wild when they go shopping in the city and stagger homeloaded with as many of the exotic items as they can carry. Nor is the citywithout its moments of beauty. There is something comforting about the warmglow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights. Few things could be moreimpressive than the peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekendswhen the thousands that travel to work every day are tucked a way in theirhomes in the country. It has always been a mystery to me why city dwellers, whoappreciate all these things, obstinately pretend that they would prefer to livein the country.
