It was in vain that Frank Buxton made the pony trot and canter; she still looked sad and grave. "Little dull thing!" he thought; but he was as kind and considerate as a gentlemanly boy could be. At last they reached Mr. Buxton's house. It was in the main street, and the front door opened upon it by a flight of steps. Wide on each side extended the stone-coped windows.
For Kirk, it was an enchanted land of close-pressing leafy alleys, pungent with the smell of box; of brick-paved paths chanced on unexpectedly followed cautiously to the rim of empty, stone-coped pools. He and Felicia, or he and Ken, went there when cookery or carpentry left an elder free.
Opposite to the wall, along which the street ran, on one of the narrow sides of the oblong, was a handsome stone-coped house, blackened, to be sure, by the smoke, but with paint, windows, and steps kept scrupulously clean. It was evidently a house which had been built some fifty or sixty years.
