My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England.

He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country.

He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.

Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather,

for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold.
