text_original: For nearly ten years, therefore, he had lived at the Priory, forming few acquaintances, and positively no friends. His most intimate asso  ciates had been the De Crespignys. This had no doubt arisen from the circumstance of the Wood  lands estate adjoining Tolldale. Mr. Monckton accepted the acquaintances whom accident forced upon him, but he sought none. Those who knew him best said that the shadow which had so early fallen upon his life had never passed away.
