The work of ruin had proceeded with a swift hand indeed, Digitized by Vj^J^ VIC BLAKESMOOR IN H SHIRE 187 and the demolition of a few weeks had reduced it to — an anti- quity. I was astonished at the indistinction of everything. Where had stood the great gates? What bounded the court-yard? Whereabout did the out-houses commence? a few bricks only 5 lay as representatives of that which was so stately and so spa- cious. Death does not shrink up his human victim at this rate. The burnt ashes of a ...man weigh more in their proportion. Had I seen these brick-and-mortar knaves at their process of 10 destruction, at the plucking of every panel I should have felt the varlets at my heart. 1 should have cried out to them to spare a plank at least out of the cheerful storeroom, in whose hot window-seat I used to sit and read Cowley, with the grass- plat before, and the hum and flappings of that one solitary 15 wasp that ever haunted it about me — it is in mine ears now, as oft as summer returns ; or a panel of the yellow-room.
