There are on the high road two very important lodges3, between which is a large ornamented4 gate, and from thence an excellent road leads to the mansion5, situated6 in the very middle of the domain7. The house is Greek in its style of architecture,—at least so the owner says; and if a portico8 with a pediment and seven Ionic columns makes a house Greek, the house in Groby Park undoubtedly9 is Greek.
Here lived Mr. and Mrs. Mason, the three Misses Mason, and occasionally the two young Messrs. Mason; for the master of Groby Park was blessed with five children. He himself was a big, broad, heavy-browed man, in whose composition there was nothing of tenderness, nothing of poetry, and nothing of taste; but I cannot say that he was on the whole a bad man. He was just in his dealings, or at any rate endeavoured to be so. He strove hard to do his duty as a county magistrate10 against very adverse11 circumstances. He endeavoured to enable his tenants
