The ch芒teau of Durbelli猫re, the family seat of the Larochejacquelins, was situated1 in the very centre of the Bocage, between the small towns of Chatillon and Vihiers—in the province of Poitou, and about twelve leagues from St. Florent.
It was a large mansion2, surrounded by extensive gardens, and a considerable domain3. There were few residences of more importance as betokening4 greater wealth in the province of Poitou; but it was neither magnificent nor picturesque5. The landlords of the country were not men of extensive property or expensive habits—they built no costly6 castles, and gave no sumptuous7 banquets; but they lived at home, on their incomes, and had always something to spare for the poorer of their neighbours. Farming was their business—the chase their amusement—loyalty8 their strongest passion, and the prosperity of their tenantry their chief ambition.
The ch芒teau of Durbelli猫re was a large square building, three stories high, with seven front windows to each of the upper stories, and three on each side of the large door on the ground floor. Eight stone steps of great width led up to the front door; but between the top step and the door there was a square flagged area of considerable space; and on the right hand, and on the left, two large whitewashed9 lions reclined on brick and mortar11 pedestals. An enormous range of kitchens, offices and cellars, ran under the whole house; the windows opened into a low area, or rather trench
