The house stood alone. Monk Grange, the hamlet to which it geographically belonged a place as bleak and bare as itself, and which seemed to have been flung against the fell-foot as if a brick-layer's hodman had pitched the hovels at haphazard anyhow was two good miles away, and the market-town, to be got at only by crossing a dangerous moor, was nine miles off as far as Sherrington from North Aston.

Two or three times a day he led his rickety, lumbering cart along the lane that passed the vicarage gate, pausing on each journey to glance furtively up at the windows.
