Blocks

The bank is three blocks away.

Walk three more blocks and you will find the museum on your left.

And yet the large blocks of stone are fitted together so closely that you cannot put in the point of a knife between them.

Go two blocks and turn left.

Go down this street three blocks.

Go two blocks along this street and turn left.

Walk two blocks, and turn left.

Rows of houses, each of them different and pleasing with their spacious gardens, are replaced by purely functional blocks of flats which have nothing more to commend them than over-praised 'modern conveniences'.

The last three blocks! Come on! Cheer up!

Children play with blocks.
