ample building that Mrs. London called

eye could see, the well titled fields, and
browsing herds of pedigreed cattle and
sheep and horses. Of to the right one
saw a piggery where rooted blooded
pigs, a piggery unlike any in the world,

how suggested fine zoo; and centering

burned to the ground From those
ruins you can get some idea of it. The
