Publisher's Synopsis
The house itself is of Georgian red brick, with charming circular windowsnear the roof. It has dignity and pride without ostentation, self-assurance withoutarrogance, repose without inertia; and a gentle aloofness that, to those who knowits spirit, but adds to its value as a home. It is indeed like certain lovely womenwho, now old, belong to a bygone generation-women who in youth werepassionate but seemly; difficult to win but when won, all-fulfilling. They arepassing away, but their homesteads remain, and such an homestead is Morton.
