Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Found Guilty
MY name is William Bullen I am a doctor in divinity, and parson of the parish of Orwell my age is sixty-three, and I have full possession of my faculties, thanks to Providence, which has endowed me with a robust constitution, and a moderate taste for the good things of this life. My wife has been dead twelve years, my daughters are married and gone from me, so I live in solitude, and lead a tranquil, but by no means an idle or an unhappy existence; for besides that I have in the evening to prepare my Sunday's sermon, and in the day have something like eight hundred souls to care for, scattered over a parish which I truly believe is the widest and wildest and the stoniest in this north-west country, I have a fair library of good books to dip into, and an excellent garden which I cultivate with my own hands, to my great delight - an occupation which needs no excuse, for surely there can be no purer pleasure, morally or materially, than to see the earth bearing beautiful blossoms from seed of our own setting.
In the autumn of 1883 I heard that Beauchamp Moat had been sold to Dr. Norman Norman, of London, who intended to make it his residence as soon as the repairs needed to make it habitable were completed.
