There seem to be iron-works, or some kind of manufactory, on the farther side of the bridge; and I noticed a quaint, chateau-like mansion, with hanging turrets standing apart from the street, probably built by some person enriched by business. We left Dumbarton at noon, taking the rail to Balloch, and the steamer to the head of Loch Lomond.
We had some trouble in working our way out, and anchoring about noon in the right one. A pretty little chateau-like building immediately attracted our attention. We took it for some advanced building of the town, and congratulated one another on having reached our temporary destination so quickly.

Shelby said her trunks weren't ready." "Drive to Canon North's," directed the governor, jumping in. "He's near the cathedral, you know." The carriage jolted from cobbles to asphalt, rounded the looming capitol with its chateau-like red roofs cut sharply against the pure spring sky, grated the stones again, and halted at the canon's door.
"Alice Lancaster, place one good deed to thy account: 'Blessed are the peacemakers," said Mrs. Lancaster. When Keith arrived at Mrs. Wickersham's he found the company assembled in her great drawing-room the usual sort to be found in great drawing-rooms of large new chateau-like mansions in a great and commercial city. "Mr. Keats!" called out the prim servant.
"The people cry out for bread," said the Chevalier, looking at the board and thinking of the shrieking beggars. Marquis de Praille raised his fashionable lorgnette, contemplating a vast chateau-like confection on the table, and sprung his little joke. "Why don't they eat cake?" he replied airily, with a cackling laugh.
The two-turreted projection on the left was not balanced then, as now, by a similar two-turreted projection on the right, with a facade of less height between, but was flanked on the right by a continued chateau-like frontage, of about the same height as the turreted projections, and at a uniform depth of recess from it, but independently garnished with towers and pinnacles.
The main entrance into the Palace from the great outer courtyard was through this chateau-like flank, just about the spot where there is the entrance through the present middle facade; and this entrance led, like the present, into an inner court or quadrangle, built round on all the four sides.
The massive rough stone walls of this building, its pointed towers and many dormered chateau-like roof unconsciously symbolize the attempt to impose upon the living present a moribund and alien order. Democracy is thus afflicted, and the fact must needs find architectural expression. In the field of domestic architecture these dramatic contrasts are less evident, less sharply marked.
