Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Halcyon Days Waterbrook Hall is a handsome building of dark red and gray brick, situated among beautiful gardens in the midst of a spacious park, whose clumps and avenues of noble elms and beeches are the admiration of the whole country round. A winding stream shaded by drooping willows, flows through the greater portion of the grounds, and when the stately swans are floating on the waters, another charm is added to the peaceful beauty of a landscape which, in the richness of its living green and its ever-varying lights and shades as the masses of fleecy clouds are carried past on the breeze, could be rivalled in no land but our own. A rustic bridge crossing the steam leads to a wood, where the sweetest of wild flowers bud and bloom in their season, and often tempt wayfarers aside from the path which takes a short cut across the copse to the pretty little village of Waterbrook and its old-fashioned church, the pointed spire of which can be just seen peeping above the trees from the school-room at the Hall.
