expanse

I said it in London, Watson, and I say it again now, that never yet have we helped to hunt down a more dangerous man than he who is lying yonder”—he swept his long arm towards the huge mottled expanse of green-splotched bog which stretched away until it merged into the russet slopes of the moor.

Our wagonette had topped a rise and in front of us rose the huge expanse of the moor, mottled with gnarled and craggy cairns and tors.

The avenue opened into a broad expanse of turf, and the house lay before us.

Nothing stirred over the vast expanse save a pair of ravens, which croaked loudly from a tor behind us.
