secretecy in the woods
“It was a longish building with its gable ends turned away from the road, and long traceried windows coming rather low down set in the wall that faced us. It was handsomely built of red bricks with a lead roof; and high up about the windows there ran a frieze of figure subjects in baked clay, very well executed, and designed with a force and rirectness which I had never noticed in modern work before.�
