In the present instance they were fully eight inches wide; but their glory was altogether eclipsed by the gorgeous splendor of the profuse blossoms. I could have fancied, while I looked at it, that some eminent landscape–painter had built it with his brush. The greatest care had been taken to preserve a due medium between the neat and graceful on the one hand, and the pittoresque, in the true sense of the Italian term, on the other.The northern precipice, in like manner, was almost entirely clothed by grape-vines of rare luxuriance; some springing from the soil at the base of the cliff, and others from ledges on its face.

The whole house, with its wings, was constructed of the old-fashioned Dutch shingles - broad, and with un-rounded corners.
