There was but one single porch, in fact, facing its stately trees whereon no flocks of birds, old or young, ever alighted, and that belonged to Peter Skimmerton the meanest man in town who in a fit of parsimony over candles, so the girls said, had bared his porch of every protesting vine and had placed opposite his door-step a glaring street gas-lamp -a monstrous and never-to- be-forgotten affront.

Crocker had described it, and just what he had about despaired of ever finding. Surely his cup of happiness was full to the brim.
