THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

The little kingdom which is cut off from the rest of the land is as full of interest as any corresponding corner of the country.  It is not of vast extent, but its capital, Flamborough, has a considerable population, mostly of fisher-folk who keep themselves to themselves almost as jealously as in the old days.  There is a good deal of intermarrying amongst the people of the headland, but it seems to have no ill effect on the race, for men and women alike are hardy, robust, and of exceptional physique.  In summer, under the cheering influence of bright sunlight, it becomes quite a paradise.
