The man grew cabbages and onions, which he sold, but cared nothing for the walks or borders.

Whatever it may have been in the old time, Bragton Park was certainly not a cheerful place when Lady Ushant lived there.

In the squire's time the park itself had always been occupied by deer.

Even when distress came he would not allow the deer to be sold.

But after his death they went very soon, and from that day to the time of which I am writing, the park has been leased to some butchers or graziers from Dillsborough.
The ground hereabouts is nearly level, but it falls away a little and becomes broken and pretty where the river Dill runs through the park, about half a mile from the house.
