This September I was invited to devastate the moors of a friend in the north, and on myjourney to his abode, I unexpectedly came within fifteen miles of Gimmerton. The ostler at aroadside public house was holding a pail of water to refresh my horses, when a cart of very greenoats, newly reaped, passed by, and he remarked:`Yon’s frough Gimmerton Soccer Jerseys Wholesale, nah! They’re allas three wick after other folk wi’ ther harvest.’`Gimmerton ?` I repeated–my residence in that locality had already grown dim and dreamy.`Ah! I know. How far is it from this?’`Happen fourteen mile o’er th’ hills; and a rough road,’ he answered and found the.

A sudden impulse seized me to visit Thrushcross Grange. It was scarcely noon, and Iconceived that I might as well pass the night under my own roof as in an inn. Besides, I could sparea day easily to arrange matters with my landlord, and thus save myself the trouble of invading theneighbourhood again. Having rested a while, I directed my servant to inquire the way to thevillage; and, with great fatigue Portuguese Primeira Liga Soccer jerseys Wholesale to our beasts, we managed the distance in some three hours.I left him there, and proceeded down the valley alone. The grey church looked greyer, andthe lonely churchyard lonelier. I distinguished a moor sheep cropping the short turf on the graves.

It was sweet, warm weather–too warm for travelling,he was in the; but the heat did not hinder me fromenjoying the delightful scenery above and below: had I seen it nearer August, I’m sure it wouldhave tempted me to waste a month among its solitudes.

I rode into the court. Under the porch, a girl of nine or ten satknitting, and an old woman reclined on the house steps, smoking a meditative pipe.`Is Mrs Dean within?’ I demanded of the dame.`Mistress Dean? Nay!’ The number is she answered,`shoo doesn’t bide here: shoo’s up at th’ Heights.’`Are you the housekeeper, then?’ I continued.`Ea, Aw keep th’ house,’ she replied.`Well, I’m Mr Lockwood, the master. Are there any rooms to lodge me in, I wonder? I wish tostay here all night.’`T’ maister!’ she cried in astonishment.

`Whet, whoiver knew yah wur coming? Yah sud ha’send word. They’s nowt norther dry nor mensful abaht t’ place: nowt there isn’t!’She threw down her pipe and bustled in, the girl followed, and I entered too; soon perceivingthat her report was true, and, moreover, that I had almost upset her wits by my unwelcomeapparition, I bid her be composed. I would go out for a walk; and, meantime, she must try toprepare a corner of a sitting-room for me to sup in, and a bedroom to sleep in. No sweeping anddusting, only good fire and dry sheets were necessary.
