from Miss. Russell's Hobby, Vol.of: A Novel
The architect of New Wareham was a man of one idea, and there was little or no variety in the aspect of the new buildings, all with the same verandahs and showy ornaments.
It was a relief to turn away from these modern houses, to the more oldfashioned part, where venerable myrtles, that had weathered many a winter, and monthly roses in perfection, were living proofs of the mild salubrity of the air.
Houses have a physiognomy, and there was one building in Wareham which could hardly fail of attracting attention and remark.
It stood above the quay and the quay streets, on a hill, and in an exposed situation, but commanding a fine view of the sea and the cliffs.
