Tortilla Flat

Hitchcock settled in southern California, leaving behind a flat in London and a country house in Shamley Green.

Why not have sought out the pure white lime-rocks of the flat country, or the grey granite of the hills?

Then the roof itself, with its gables and dormer windows, softly folded itself flat down upon the top of the house, out of sight.

Instead of writing slander and flat blasphemy, they propose to draw it, and not draw it mild.

There is no other way but fresh blood for it is sheer human nature to feel flat after an effort.

The hills disappear some miles above this city, and henceforward to the sea all is flat and tame as a marsh.
