Beschreibung
Excerpt: "e;Massinger Court in Herefordshire was a grand old Tudor mansion, the brown sandstone walls and tiled roofs of which had been a source of pride to the inhabitants of the county for untold generations. Standing in a fair estate of ten thousand acres, three roods, and twenty-eight perches (to be accurate), with a nominal rental of somewhat over fifteen thousand a year, it might be thought that for the needs of an unmarried man of eight and twenty there was "e;ample room and verge enough."e; Beside the honour and glory of being Massinger of Massinger, and inhabiting "e;The Court,"e; the erstwhile residence of a royal princess, with its priceless heirlooms and memories! Many a newly enriched proprietor would have given his eyes to have possessed them by hereditary right."e;
