Hannah Parker declared she could not see the need of this.
"There's a tower onto the main buildin' already," she said, "pretty nigh as high as a lighthouse.

I should think a body could see fur enough from that tower, without riggin' up a conservatory.

Well, Mrs.Kendrick needn't ask ME to go up in it.

I went to the top of the conservatory on Scargo Hill one time and I was so dizzy in the head I thought sure I'd fall right over the railin'." The High Cliff boarders--Miss Timpson and Caleb Hammond especially--spent a great deal of time peering from the living-room windows and watching what they called the "goin's on" at the Kendrick estate.

Occasionally they caught a glimpse of E.Holliday himself.
