We gave this name to the house tenanted by the farmer and his servants, and which was situated on the verge of my brother's ground, and at a considerable distance from the mansion.

The path to the mansion was planted by a double row of walnuts.

Along this path I proceeded alone.
I entered the parlour, in which was a light just expiring in the socket.
There was no one in the room.

I perceived by the clock that stood against the wall, that it was near eleven.

The lateness of the hour startled me.
