The house in which he was born, number 62 Rodney Street, a commodious and imposing "double-fronted" dwelling of red brick, is still standing.
The house, double-fronted, had that third sitting-room which confers such an immense superiority over houses of but two sitting-rooms "Such a convenience in so many ways" as those newly promoted from two to three nowadays remark with languid triumph to visitors still immured in two.
The frontage of Fortune, East and Sabre on The Precincts consisted of a range of three double-fronted shops.
We furnished that double-fronted house from attic it ran to an attic to cellar, and created a garden. "Do you know Pampas Grass?" said Marion. "I love Pampas Grass... if there is room." "You shall have Pampas Grass," I declared. And there were moments as we went in imagination about that house together, when my whole being cried out to take her in my arms now. But I refrained.
It was a house in De Crespigny Park; unattached, double-fronted, with half-sunk basement, and a flight of steps to the stucco pillars at the entrance.
Rushton & Co.'s premises were situated in one of the principal streets of Mugsborough and consisted of a double-fronted shop with plate glass windows. The shop extended right through to the narrow back street which ran behind it.
The young Squire of Kencote, in all the glory of his wide inheritance and his lieutenancy in the Household Cavalry, had ridden past the little house on his way to Bathgate and seen a quiet, unassuming, fair-haired girl watering her flowers in the garden, had fallen in love with her, met her at a county ball, fallen still more deeply in love, and finally carried her off impetuously from the double-fronted villa in the Bathgate Road to rule over his great house at Kencote.
"This is my place, sir," said the agent, as they stopped at the gate of a dingy, double-fronted house. "You'll have a bit of dinner with us in our humble way?" "Thank you," said "the Golden Shoemaker," "I shall be very glad." After dinner, "Cobbler" Horn set out with his agent on a tour of inspection through the village. "We'll take this row first, sir, if you please," said Mr. Gray.
An extraordinary bitterness possessed me at this invasion of the stupendous beautiful business of love by sordid necessity. I answered her with immense restraint. "If," I said, "we could have a double-fronted, detached house at Ealing, say with a square patch of lawn in front and a garden behind and and a tiled bathroom." "That would be sixty pounds a year at least."
Again they were hurrying between cultivated farms and farm houses, widely scattered, but sufficiently near to one another to represent civilisation. Double-fronted wooden houses were dotted here and there, single-storied, each with its wide verandah, a small garden, and possibly a row of pine trees to guard them from the wind.
