Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Castle by the Sea It was on the evening of the fifth of May, just before the day had fully declined into twilight, that I got my first sight of Norroy Castle. I had taken a fly at the distant station of Arncombe, and, to the accompaniment of the friendly driver's gossip, had rattled along the country roads and down the little inlet for a few miles to Southington, when we made almost a full right wheel and began to climb the hill. At this stage, owing to the lessening of the clatter and the dwindling of the noise of the water, my man and I got on terms of even closer intimacy. He leaned back to explain to me points of the scenery, and to indicate features of interest, as he was no doubt wont to do to tourists. I was not a tourist, but I certainly had the neighborhood as much at heart as any bird of passage. It was to be my environment for some three months; and I stood up occasionally and looked about me. We were rising slowly but surely now, and below, the darkling inlet had become a romantic channel of fancies to my mind. I was glad I had taken Norroy Castle; glad, too, I had taken it on trust; for this was my inaugural visit, and I had, so to say, bought a pig in a poke.
