text_original: The house was not magnificent or stately, he said; but large, comfortable, old, and rather picturesque in appearance; standing in the midst of extensive and very lovely grounds, where art had not interfered with nature. He told Rotha he thought she would like it. Rotha's eyes fell; she made no answer, but was he thought very grave. He went on to tell her about himself and his business.
