Excerpt from At the Sign of the Oldest House: A Modern Romance The walls showed the original stone, massive oblong blocks, porous with age, under a roof of gray and rotting shingles, shapeless as some old bit of felt that has once been a hat. The casement windows of both stories were modern, but the great, black, hand-hewn door, held together by iron bands, needed no proof of authenticity. Though the component parts were so large, the house itself was tiny, and might have stood at a meeting of English lanes.
