The oriels, towers, terraces, and battlements are in the most perfect keeping; and the building is as convenient within as it is picturesque without.

A few weather-stains, or a few American creepers, and a little ivy, would make it perfect; and all that will come, I suppose, with time.

The terrace is my favourite spot.

I always liked "the trim gardens" of which Milton speaks, and thought that Brown and his imitators went too far in bringing forests and sheep-walks up to the very windows of drawing-rooms.
I came through Oxford.

It was as beautiful a day as the second day of our visit, and the High Street was in all its glory.
