Excerpt from The Lindsays a Romance of Scottish Life, Vol. 2 of 3
In a garden, the garden of a large old-fashioned house on Highgate Hill, a girl sat with a book in her hand, dreaming, on a July afternoon.
The scene was a thoroughly English one. Behind the garden-seat rose the gray brick walls of the house. It was old without being in the least degree venerable, ugly without looking positively mean. Its size redeemed it from that - its size, and a certain air of comfortableness that belongs only to English homes.
