The chief hotel at Sherton-Abbas was an old stone-fronted inn with a yawning arch, under which vehicles were driven by stooping coachmen to back
premises1 of wonderful
commodiousness2. The windows to the street were mullioned into narrow lights, and only commanded a view of the opposite houses; hence, perhaps, it arose that the best and most
luxurious3 private
sitting-room4 that the inn could afford over-looked the
nether5 parts of the establishment, where beyond the yard were to be seen gardens and
orchards7, now bossed,
nay8 incrusted, with
scarlet9 and gold fruit, stretching to infinite distance under a
luminous10 lavender mist. The time was early autumn,
“When the fair apples, red as evening sky,
Do bend the tree unto the fruitful ground,
When juicy pears, and berries of black dye,
Do dance in air, and call the eyes around.”
The landscape confronting the window might, indeed, have been part of the identical stretch of country which the youthful Chatterton had in his mind.
In this room sat she who had been the
maiden11 Grace Melbury till the finger of fate touched her and turned her to a wife. It was two months after the wedding, and she was alone. Fitzpiers had walked out to see the abbey by the light of sunset, but she had been too
fatigued12 to accompany him. They had reached the last stage of a long eight-weeks’ tour, and were going on to Hintock that night.
