Description
Excerpt from In the High Valley: Being the Fifth and Last Volume of the Katy Did Series
Orchards of pear and apple ?anked the building to east and west. Behind was a field or two crowning a little upland where sedate cows fed demurely; and in front, to ward the south, which was the Side of eh trance, lay a narrow walled garden, with box-bordered beds full of early ?owers, mim ulus, sweet-peas, mignonette, stock gillies, and blush and damask roses, carefully tended and making a blaze of color on the face of the bright morning. The whole front of the house was draped with a luxuriant Vine of Gloire de Dijon, whose long, pink-yellow buds and cream-?ushed cups sent wafts of delicate sweetness with every puff of wind.
