No. 32 (Kirkland)

Tucked away behind the corner of last house is to be seen "the glory of Kirkland." It is true that the place has been terribly modernised, but the old front parlour - denuded, alas! of its ancient furniture - is little altered. And if my strong epithet is still taken in question, I would ask the reader to seek permission and enter up the entry to behind the house, and whilst there gainsay me if they can. Through the garden and beneath the entry runs the clear brook from the Anchorite Well.
