    -selves can tell - they kept on losing stock - their horses and their cows - their pigs and their sheep till nothing was left to them but empty fields
    empty cattle sheds, and a whited sepulchre of a house
    That had perforce to leave it - when the means whereby they lived had dwindled away and now they are scattered in various parts of the country.
    Ten years ago The house itself was not exactly demolished, but very much structurally altered, and strange as it may seem is now a flourishing "Hotel" with "R I A C" signs etc and all the other "draws" to fill to capacity - but not for all the gold in the King's mint would I be be "drawn" to that 'Rest for the tired,' even to risk seeing from afar, those Lights in the Night.
