W1E walked down the quaint village street
with row of pollarded elms on each
side of it. Just beyond were two ancient stone
pillars, weather-stained and hchen-blotched,
bearing upon their SUBMITS shape1ess some
thing which had once been the rampant lion
of Capus of Birlstone. A short walk along the
winding drive with such sward and oaks
around it as one sees only in rural England,
then a sudden turn, and the long, low,
Jacobean house of dingy, iver-co1ored brick
lay before us, with an old-fashioned garden
of cut yews on each side of it. AS we ap-
preached it there were the wooden drawbridge
luminous as quicksilver in the cold, winter
sunshine.
Three centuries had flowed past the old
Manor House, centuries of births and of home
comings, of country dances and of the meet
ings of fox hunters. Strange that now in its
old age this dark business should have cast
its shadow upon the venerable walls! And
yet those strange, peaked roofs and quaint,
overhung gables were a fitting covering to
grim and terrible intrigue. AS looked at the
deep-set windows and the long sweep of the
dull-colored, water-lapped front, felt that
no more proper scene could be set for such
tragedy.
