Distinct satisfaction he derived from it.
He wandered upwards, up the succeeding flights of step; till he came to the upper rough hedge, and saw the wild copse on the hill-crest just above.

Passing through a space in the hedge, he climbed the steep last bit of Sir William's lane.

It was a little vineyard, with small vines and yellowing leaves.

Everywhere the place looked neglected--but as if man had just begun to tackle it once more.
At the very top, by the wild hedge where spindle-berries hung pink, seats were placed, and from here the view was very beautiful.

The hill dropped steep beneath him.
