"Nothing much.
That's our house just beyond grandfather's." He waved a sealskin gauntlet to indicate the house Major Amberson had built for Isabel as a wedding gift.

"It's almost the same as grandfather's, only not as large and hasn't got a regular ballroom.

We gave the dance, last night, at grandfather's on account of the ballroom, and because I'm the only grandchild, you know.

Of course, some day that'll be my house, though I expect my mother will most likely go on living where she does now, with father and Aunt Fanny.

I suppose I'll probably build a country house, too--somewhere East, I guess." He stopped speaking, and frowned as they passed a closed carriage and pair.
