But why do you ask?" was the reply. "I fancied so!" Geoffrey lapsed instinctively into his brusque, professional style of comment. "Poor system of underpinning, badly fixed yonder.
On the hillslope in the middle of the orchard and overlooking the famous 'Stockbridge Bowl' a round deep tarn among the hills are the brick cellar walls and brick underpinning of what was a very humble dwelling the Hawthorne Cottage. About the ruins is a quiet, modest, New England neighborhood.
There were flowers in the beds along the underpinning of the house, which stood close to the street, and on one side of the door was a clump of Spanish willow; an old-fashioned June rose climbed over it from the other.
