Excerpt from Ailieford, a Family History
The house in which I am now living was once a farm house; when, I cannot remember, but all its arrangements corroborate its history. A two-story house, with a rounded projection in its centre to contain the staircase, a low door opening into the little brick-¿oored kitchen, and a collee tion of low small-windowed rooms within. Outside, the garden is in but indifferent order, noted for little more than the great white rose-tree looking in at the staircase window, and the hedge of lilacs round the enclosure, which has much more wealth in potatoes and cabbages than in ¿owers; and some jargonel pear-trees, wonderful in their generation, and berry-bushes, famous and well-remembered, kee ing a corner in many an old world-hardened memory, ofp gray headed men like me who were young when I was young.
