Doctor Unonius stared at the paper, and from the paper lifted his eyes to stare at the black bulk of the farm-house buildings, the stretch of roof, the tall chimneys looming above the tamarisks. But the close rays of the lamp dazzled his eyes, and he saw nothing nothing but the white gate glimmering at the end of the courtlege wall.
The courtlege of Landeweddy was hedged with tamarisks, now leafless, and through these, above the wall's coping, the upper part of the house loomed an indistinct mass against the indigo-gray night. No light showed anywhere as why should the widow Tresize or her maid Tryphena be awake at such an hour?
The track led down into a hollow, some acres broad, like a saucer scooped between two slopes of the moor; and in the middle of it just low enough to be hidden from the valley beneath stood a whitewashed farmhouse, with a courtlege in front and green-painted gate; and by this gate three persons watched us as we came a man and two women.
