It was a ghastly night when the Highway Man came riding to Bess' old Inn-door. One could not have seen the rough country road stretching across the grass-grown moor, had not the scanty moonlight from the cloud-covered sky fallen on it, illuminating it. Thus it appeared as a far stretching band of moonlight against the dark green vegetation bordering and lining either side. Besides it was inky black darkness among the bordering trees. Though written during the early years of the Twentieth century, don't think that it was a macademized tarred black road.
