Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miranda The Barrow was not the great house at Melford-on-the-Moor, though it was one of the largest houses, and indisputably the richest house in that pastoral parish. But at Melford the parochial mind had a strong bias in favour of blue blood; and though The Barrow employed more labour and spent more money than any other house in Melford, Tower Hill, which had belonged to Lord Airdale´s ancestors from the reign of Henry the Eighth, must always rank as the great house, whether exhibiting the dreary aspect of shuttered windows and gardens running to seed, or shining across the rural landscape in the autumn evenings, a place of light and music, where town ladies were playing bridge with the men who came to his lordship´s great shoot. The shootings belonging to The Barrow covered a wider range of wood and waste, but they had been less carefully preserved since Mr. Strickland´s death, and shoots were seldom and guns were few under Lady Laura´s rule.
