Henry Cadwallader Adams, Books, History, Stories for Sundays, This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ... MILWOOD GRANGE. jN an old-fashioned summer-house, the walls and roof of which were composed of the foliage of two large yew trees coaxed and tortured into the required shape, a family group was seated at supper. It consisted of a rather finelooking old man, a lady, and two young men--the demeanour of the whole party contrasting somewhat strangely with their coarse and shabby dresses. An observant spectator would have noted that this anomaly was not the only one which the scene presented. The plat in front of the arbour had once been a smoothly shaven lawn; but the grass had now grown long and rank. There were flower beds in which exotics had once flourished, but which at present contained none but the commonest products of an English garden. The walks were overgrown with weeds, and the drive up to the front door was in little better order than a country lane. The house itself, an old mansion, built in the style known as black and white, seemed in many places to be almost ruinous. The tiles had fallen off and left large patches in the roof uncovered. The windows of the principal sitting-rooms had lost most of their glass, and were either stopped by boards or left open to the weather. The house-door had disappeared, and its place was supplied by a rough wicket gate. The only rooms that appeared to be inhabited were the kitchen and pantry of the house, together with a few bedrooms which had once been appropriated to servants. The decay of the Milwoods had been as gradual, but as sure as that of their family mansion. A few generations previously they had been one of the leading families in Wiltshire,--the largest landowners, with one or two exceptions, in the whole county. But the troubles which followed the accession of the Stuarts proved...
