Chapter Shortlands of Women in Love by D.H. Lawrence It was a long, low old house, a sort of manor farm, that spread along the top of a slope just beyond the narrow little lake of Willey Water. Shortlands looked across a sloping meadow that might be a park, because of the large, solitary trees that stood here and there, across the water of the narrow lake, at the wooded hill that successfully hid the colliery valley beyond, but did not quite hide the rising smoke. Nevertheless, the scene was rural and picturesque, very peaceful, and the house had a charm of its own. www.bibliomania.com /0/0/32/70/19626/1.html   (552 words)

HyperWar: USMC Operations in WWII: Vol II--Isolation of Rabaul Moreover, in an attempt to deceive the enemy as to the direction of the attack on Bougainville and convince him that the ultimate Allied aim might be the Buin area or the Shortlands, the seizure of the Treasurys was given added emphasis by being set as a preliminary to the Torokina landings. To help this deception succeed, reconnaissance patrols to the Shortlands and diversionary operations on the island of Choiseul--plus low-flying photo missions over the Shortlands--were scheduled by IMAC to increase the enemy's conviction that the follow-up objective was the Shortlands. Basing their estimates on the increased number of Allied air strikes on Buka and the Shortlands, the Bougainville defenders decided that these were the threatened areas. www.ibiblio.org /hyperwar/USMC/II/USMC-II-III-2.html   (8785 words)
