Excerpt from The Lillingstones of Lillingstone
It was a beautiful afternoon in the month of May. Lillingstone looked its loveliest, with the calm, sweet sunshine on its grey mellow walls, on its flowery terraces, and its wavy upland lawns, that, half park and half field, sloped away to the broad belt of pine woods skirting the line of rocky, lonely hills, at the eastern extremity of the estate.
The gardens gave rich promise of flowers and fruitage yet to come; the hawthorns were all one sheet of pearly fragrant beauty; the delicate green branches of the acacia waved gently in the warm, soft air, mingling their white, tress-like blossoms with the golden chains of the laburnum.
