Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from All the Year Round, Vol. 10: A Weekly Journal; From August 29, 1863, to February 6, 1864
We are quite in the country. Is any one tempted to take holiday lodgings in this Row? Let him look at any one of the houses, say Number Seven. It is a small bun and cake shep, with ginger-beer bottles and apples in the window. The ?oor is spongy brick, the parti tion wall between it and the next cottage on either side is one brick thick. The wall may be whitewashed or coloured. A newly married couple in the first blush of the honeymoon once upon a time tried papering but paper would not stick. On the ground ?oor are a couple of rooms, with a scullery or pantry, which serves as a coal-hole and lumber-room as well; and there is a door opening into the area. Both front and back doors (there being no room for porches on the roadside) are carefully listed, and some other contrivance is also resorted to, to keep out the wind and driving wet.
