"The isle is half of it a garden, richer land, they say, is none in these realms, and I believe it; but, besides that, there is a deer-park there with a thousand head in it, red and fallow; and plenty of swine in woods, and sheep, and cattle; and if they fail, there are plenty more to be got, they know where." "They know where? Do you, Sir Knight?" asked William, keenly.
On a hill-top north of the lake, in the Deer-park, is a monument of quite other character a great oblong marked by pillared stones, like an open temple. At three points huge stones are laid across from pillar to pillar. The whole enclosure was doubtless so barred in days of old, a temple of open arches crowning the summit of the hill. The great ruin by the lake keeps its secret well.
He was reputed to be extremely erudite, a ripe scholar, and of some fame in scientific research. But of all his discoveries and he had made many under the microscope and in space the most surprising was the discovery that a lady who owned a deer-park and many thousands a-year desired him to make her his wife.
One of these precious Lords of the Manor enclosed a deer-park; and, in order to stock it, he seized all the pretty pet fawns that his tenants had brought up, without paying them a farthing, or asking their leave. It was a sad day for the parish of St Dennis. Indeed, I do not believe that all his oppressive exactions and long bills enraged the poor tenants so much as this cruel measure.
May not the failure of production be partly due to the fact that, owing to the extravagant and stupid expenditure of so many of the rich, too much work is put into providing luxuries of which the above-mentioned deer-park is an example and too little into the equipment of industry with the plant that it needs for its due expansion? Mr Kitson's answer is much easier.
Douce having reminded Lord Vargrave, as he had often done before, of the wishes of his uncle, that the greater portion of the money bequeathed to Evelyn should be invested in land, proceeded to say that a most excellent opportunity presented itself for just such a purchase as would have rejoiced the heart of the late lord, a superb place, in the style of Blickling, deer-park six miles round, ten thousand acres of land, bringing in a clear eight thousand pounds a year, purchase money only two hundred and forty thousand pounds.
From New College we will go on to Magdalen, the finest the wealthiest of all: it cannot be described, it must be seen; with its buildings occupying eleven acres and pleasure-grounds a hundred acres, its tower whereon every May morning at daybreak a mass used to be and a carol is still sung, and its deer-park. Here we may say, as of New College, is too much luxury for learning.
If she hadn't sliced her drive from the fifteenth tee, it would have been a beautiful shot. We watched it curl over the grey wall into the sunshot park. "Out of bounds, I suppose," said I. "What a pity, pretty Princess." "Not at all," she replied. "It was a lovely shot. You can't do better than follow that line." "Into the deer-park?" "Why not? It's much prettier." "I'm sure it is," said I.
Dinner over, the four of us strolled out abreast into the cool evening and down through the deer-park to the small Ionic temple, where Billy Priske had laid out fruit, wine, and glasses; and there, with no more ceremony than standing to drink my health, the three initiated me into the brotherhood of St. Swithun.
"By heaven!" cried Amyas, "Frank speaks like a book; and for me, I do think that Christian gentlemen may leave love quarrels to bulls and rams." "And that the heir of Clovelly," said Frank, smiling, "may find more noble examples to copy than the stags in his own deer-park." "Well," said Will, penitently, "you are a great scholar, Mr.
