A vindows projecting from the high, sharp roof and a double portico running around it. It was a venerable house, rather emblematic of comfort than affluence, beautifully situated on the cleared slope of a well-wooded hill. In winter it was somewhat dreary to those who passed and knew not the fireside joys within; but in summer the birds and the flowers, the vines and honeysuckles, peopled with busy bees and festooning the porches, the rich herbage rolling over the fertile plain, until, changing color in the distance, it grew blue as the vault it seemed to kiss, the elms, the oaks, and the maples, all united to make Loretto for so it was called a little Eden.
