1. A noble place; inside as well as out, a noble place--a house in which you incontinently lost yourself if ever you were so rash as to go about it alone; a house in which no one room had any sympathy with another, every chamber running off at a tangent into an inner chamber, and through that down some narrow staircase leading to a door which, in its turn, led back into that very part of the house from which you thought yourself the furthest; a house that could never have been planned by any mortal architect, but must have been the handiwork of that good old builder--Time, who, adding a room one year, and knocking down a room another year, toppling down a chimney coeval with the Plantagenets, and setting up one in the style of the Tudors; shaking down a bit of Saxon wall there, and allowing a Norman arch to stand here; throwing in a row of high narrow windows in the reign of Queen Anne, and joining on a dining-room after the fashion of the time of Hanoverian George I.
一个高贵的地方,里里外外,全然是个高贵的地方——好一个府邸,如果你竟鲁莽得独自东闯西跑,你立刻就会茫然迷失;好一个府邸,其中没有一个房间同另一个房间有什么和谐一致之处,每个房间都逸出常轨,突入一个内室,再经由内室下到某一个楼梯上,楼梯通向一个门,门又导引你回到了老地方,你还自以为这是府邸中离此最远的部分哩;好一个府邸,任何人间的建筑师都设计不出来的,必定是善良古老的建设者——时间——亲手营造的。时间在这一年增加了一个房间,在另一年又弄塌了一个房间;一会儿推倒一个与金雀花王朝同时代的烟囱,另外垒起一个都锋王朝风格的烟囱;那儿推倒一点儿撒克逊时代的墙垣,这儿又容许建立一道诺曼拱门;既把安女王统治时期流行的一排又高又狭的窗子硬装了上去,又按照乔治一世时代的时髦样式修建了餐室,同一个自从威廉征服英国以来兀立至今的斋堂相毗连。
