Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 157: January-June, 1895 I had started early, and there was still an hour of the short autumn day left when I descended at the little wayside station, from which a six-mile drive brought me to the Grange. A dreary drive I found it - the round, grey, tree less outline of the fells stretching around me on every side beneath the leaden, changeless sky. The night had nearly fallen as we drove along the narrow valley in which the Grange stood: it was too dark to see the autumn tints of the woods which clothed and brightened its sides, almost too dark to distin guish the old tower, - Dame Alice's tower as it was called, - which stood some half a mile farther on at its head. But the light shone brightly from the Grange windows, and all feeling of dreariness departed as I drove up to the door. Leaving maid and boxes to their fate, I ran up the steps into the old, well-re membered hall, and was informed by the dignified man-servant that her ladyship and the tea were await ing me in the morning-room.
