It was a little four-roomed house, and an outhouse opening on the Wye, which was standing in poor Nelly's days, remains. Hereford Cathedral is a fine Norman structure, begun in the eleventh century and recently restored. The most imposing portion of the interior is the north transept, which was built to receive the shrine of Cantelupe.
Then a whirling dust-devil would scutter across the plain for a couple of miles, break, and fall outward, though there was nothing to check its flight save a long low line of piled railway-sleepers white with the dust, a cluster of huts made of mud, condemned rails, and canvas, and the one squat four-roomed bungalow that belonged to the assistant engineer in charge of a section of the Gaudhari State Line then under construction."
With an effort he controlled it now, dropped the sovereign into the box labelled "Church Repairs," and walked slowly out. He had no longer a mind to run after Clement Vyell. Instead, he bent his steps towards the four-roomed cottage which he called the Parsonage and found too large for his needs. On the sitting-room table lay a letter, in a large blue envelope with a red seal.
"And do you care about this sort of thing, Viola?" "I care about his caring. But I was every bit as happy in that little four-roomed house, if that's what you mean." "Aren't you glad to have more room to move about in?" "I'm glad to have room for Daddy and Mummy when they come to stay."

And can you guess the lady of his choice? why it was no other than Miss Clementina. That worthy virgin was of just the proper age for him, moreover a cosy little bit of cash might safely be assumed to go with her, which exercised a strong attraction upon Mr.
That a great periodical, rich and influential, in the city which was the very center of learning, should go so much out of its way to attack a quiet countryman living in a four-roomed cottage, away off in the hills of Cumberland, seems a little queer.
Soldiers are very much alike all the world over. The Palace was a four-roomed and whitewashed mud and timber house, the finest in all the hills for a day's journey. The King was dressed in a purple velvet jacket, white muslin trousers, and a saffron-yellow turban of price. He gave me audience in a little carpeted room opening off the palace courtyard which was occupied by the Elephant of State.
Pulling Tommy angrily along, she hurried up to the four-roomed, zinc-roofed humpey and its lean-to kitchen, protected by a bough shade, which lay between the head-station and the gully, with the stockyard close to it, and which constituted her domain. It annoyed Mrs Hensor to hear McKeith called her master.
Her father was an agricultural labourer, and lived in a little four-roomed, whitewashed cottage about a mile and a half out of the village.
It was a little four-roomed cottage where the boy lived, and his mother good soul! gave us hot bacon for supper, and we ate it all five pounds and a jam tart afterwards, and two pots of tea, and then we went to bed.
