No harm in asking where Mr.Warricombe lived.

The reply was prompt: second house on the right hand, rather a large one, not a quarter of a mile onward.
Here, then.

The site was a good one.

From this part of the climbing road one looked over the lower valley of the Exe, saw the whole estuary, and beyond that a horizon of blue sea.

Fair, rich land, warm under the westering sun.
