The old mansion, which was neither beautiful nor fashionable, stood in a marsh about a mile off. No one had lived there long, and all the families that had formerly roamed about it, seeing it from the distance, found it very nearly deserted. No bellman ever sounded in it, and the only visible sign of life was a large, squat house for the gardener, with a boarded roof, few windows, and a sole inhabitant. The gardener was buried beside the old house, and her only son, who had lived with her, was a respectable young gentleman about my age, who seemed to enjoy the quiet.
