Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bag of Saffron The little old house, which, although it was some six hundred feet above sea-level, yet lay in a hollow, was, seen eye to eye, just one of hundreds of old Yorkshire moorland houses. Like them it was square-built and low; like theirs, its windows were too small to satisfy people of our day; but one has an odd feeling that to such houses people of our day matter as little as people of yesterday now lying in the churchyard. These rough-built old dwellings have an air of staid durability, of disregarding the flight of time, which so nearly leaves them untouched in their great solidity. They are a part of the soil out of which they are dug. Thus Roseroofs, seen from the level, was an unimposing, commonplace, old building likeable only for the sake of the wide-spread, lavish garden in which it stood; its triumph came when the observer looked down at it. The winding road, after a long, lazy, coiling progress through the dale, was met at the third of the Warcop bridges by a tributary which, in its turn, climbed the hill towards the edge in great bold laps that passed the house. And from any point of the road above the house, the glory and beauty of the old place revealed itself, - its roofs.
