6 ARDENMOHR. 



The Lodge is a good-sized building of no par- 

 ticular order of architecture, all rough granite of 

 a light blue colour, and, with its ample windows 

 and ivy-covered walls, looks cheerful and home- 

 like. There is no pretence to orthodox dining and 

 drawing rooms. A long red-carpeted room, with 

 two tall windows looking across the glen, does 

 duty for the first : and it looks nice and orderly, 

 *n spite of its book- cases and sporting parapher- 

 nalia on the walls, and the .deer and tiger skins on 

 the floor. The drawing-room is smaller, prevailing 

 colours grey and pink, and contains a few articles 

 of " virtue and bigotry," as Mrs. Somebody calls 

 them, and some sensible couches. Here we had 

 tea, and then went out to inspect the kennels and 

 offices. All satisfactory. 



After having a stroll down the glen in the 

 " gloamin' 7 and a quiet pipe, we went early to 

 bed.
