Excerpt from The Bull I' Th' Thorn, Vol. 1 of 3: A RomanceOf the chimneys, however, only one had been known for many years to emit smoke, the others had long ceased to remember that they were not originally built for birds to nest in. One-half the Windows were boarded up, and others held nothing but an empty iron frame. The thatch was black with age, and its top was shaggy with patches of long grass, there were clumps of moss there, or something that looked like moss, and under one of the chimneys grew a wild rose-bush.In front of the house, which looked down the road and across the moor, was a large courtyard paved with cobble-stones, which had taken to growing grass and had come to look curiously like a bit of stony pasture. About the courtyard were huge piles of buildings which had once been stables, cow sheds, barns, coach-houses, and wain-sheds.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
