Fens

So, Foster abandons his car—license plate D-FENS—on the highway and sets out on foot.

It goes to show that our doctrine is of God, else "behemoth would lie under shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens."

It was then built quite in the country, with the fens behind, fields in front, and no houses beyond it.

The sea itself is about four miles away, and the dead level of the fens extends all around the town.

At Stamford itself one would hardly suppose that the fens were near.

The history of the drainage of the fens and the rectification of its river courses is a long and complicated one.
