Golly, what a fine looking fellow he is to be sure! Every inch a man he is too. The old folks will just go crazy about him, I reckon. Him and me used to be mighty thick together, once upon a time. I wonders if edication spiles a man's temper, and makes him too much for thems that's left behind! I ain't got any larning, much to speak about, but I've got thems thats good and true friends to me, and that I mean to stick by. The young man is right smart, polished off with larning, but I knows he's got the same blood as his good and honest father, and that says all for him. The squire is a true man, and the son - Willie. (Enters on the scene calling for Dave, whip in hand.) Dave! Oh Dave! Ah, here you are. I did not know you were so close at hand when I called. Dave. All right, Sir! You are up early this morning. Willie. (Aside: ) He is a little stiff with me. (Loud: ) Yes, Dave, I wish to go off on a canter this bright morning, to get an appetite for breakfast. Have you any good horse flesh in the stable? I am fond of a good horse! Dave. Yes, Sir; just the thing you want. The squire bought him for you, and I think he is well trained. Wait a bit: I will saddle him for you. Willie. Oh no! by no means. You unlock the stable, and I will attend to the animal myself. I am not above doing that, you know, Dave. Dave. Never mind that, Sir. The horse is used to me. Wait a bit, and I will have him ready in jiffy. (Dave hurries off, and Willie appears undecided.) Willie. The poor fellow seems ill at ease. I must try to make him forget the present and recall the past. We were boys together, and father thinks there is no one like him. I hope he does not dislike me.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Odd Farmhouse Our search for a house in the country led us further and further to exceed that fifty mile radius round London within which we had hoped to find what we wanted. Without pause we passed through the purlieus of modern red - brick suburban villas, which we would not have, to the remoter territory of great houses seated in their parks, which we could not have. We drove about, skirting the edges of these lordly domains, in the hope of something humbler, but with no success and the ill - concealed contempt of the parasites and snobs who thrive in the shadow of such feudal landlordism roused our resentment. We resolved to breathe a more democratic air, where the Whole neighbourhood did not hang upon the importance and patronage of a few great families. We, being not petty tradesmen, flunkeys, pensioners, peasants, pheasants, or other dependents, there was no place for us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Farm-House Cobweb: A Novel In fact all the four other schools in our township were to be consolidated this winter of 18 - at the Centre Village, using the great room of the town-hall, as I have said. This handsome, graceful, popular young teachers name was Arthur Alfred Felton. Mine is plain Elisha Stone. You see them for the first time together on this printed page. So I used to write them side by side years ago, and then fall to studying them long and with many a heartache. As I sat by my solitary wood grate in my farm-house often I wrote them by fancy in the flicker of the firelight, when the candle had burned out. His name looks the best, I am bound to confess. I used to wonder if Mary Holyoke ever wrote those two names together and studied them as I did. She was poetess enough to make their two owners dance in the mimic quadrilles of glowing embers in the ample fireplace of her father's library. Yes, quite likely she did this. Would to God she had done no more than that with his name, with his shape in her maiden visions of tomorrow! "Will you go to - allow me to escort you to the singing-school this winter?" I had asked Mary Holyoke along in November. I remember that I drove my colt Skip up there that day and halted in front of her fathers door.

Download or read book Farmhouse Revival written by Steve Gross and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the farmhouses of the northeastern United States and their many approaches to their renovation, restoration, and interior design. The American farmhouse represents integrity, ingenuity, capability, and our rural and agricultural heritage. Farmhouses today are survivors from another era, constantly being rediscovered, revived, and restored in different, creative ways—though all share the same timeless aesthetic. In this fresh look at the American vernacular farmhouse, photographers Steve Gross and Susan Daley set out to document twenty revived farmhouses, and their stunning photographs illustrate the many individual approaches to the renovation, restoration, and interior design of the modern farmhouse. Found in many architectural styles, from humble Cape Cods to refined Greek Revivals, the homes in this book have all been reinvented over the years to accommodate individual tastes and changing needs while maintaining the spirit of a true American farmhouse. Furnished with vintage details—wood-burning stoves, enameled kitchen sinks, chenille bedspreads—and rooted in landscapes of rolling fields and mountains, these are the homes of the multigenerational families, solitary shepherds, graphic artists, architects, and organic farmers at the forefront of the renewed interest in the farming lifestyle. The accompanying text tells the history of each house, how it has been passed down from generation to generation or rescued from abandonment and neglect, and how the inhabitants live in and use the homes today. From three-hundred-year-old Sydenham House in Newark, New Jersey, to Sylvester Manor on Shelter Island, New York, this is a look at American culture through that most celebrated and quintessential building style, the farmhouse. Praise for Farmhouse Revival “Those interested in a homey, country style of decorating or in home restoration will be inspired.” ―Library Journal “Above all, the greatest joy is just looking at the beautiful time-worn places and appreciating the way those that came before led a happy and fulfilling life of simplicity and utility within their walls. For once you have read this book, you will realize that in many ways, it is the farmhouse that helps to restore us, and not the other way around.” ―Preservation.com “Buy the book Farmhouse Revival for the photos―for inspiration . . . the authors clearly know architecture and antiques.” ―Dan’s Paper “Perusing Farmhouse Revival is a marvelous experience . . . and is sure to make readers wonder what stories the farmhouses in their towns could tell.” ―Cleveland Plain Dealer

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old Country House Perhaps one of the greatest charms of an old house is the number of superseded contrivances which it contains, na'ive engines of the antique domestic economy long since improved upon, the apparatus of methods no longer a part of the living science of existence. That powdered wigs are no longer common, are, in fact, seldom worn nowadays, by no means subtracts from our de light in the powdering closet attached to Perdita's bedroom, with the hole in the door through which the fine lady or gentleman meekly placed her or his head as on a block, so that the great puffs should not shower their whiteness over the whole exquisite figure.

Download or read book Farmhouse written by Fine Homebuilding and published by Taunton Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The farmhouse is a classic American icon, combining comfort and simplicity, elegance and nostalgia, all without pretension. No matter the age or condition, these historic homesteads call to mind the pragmatism of the pioneers who worked the land and raised their families at a time when practicality was key to prosperity. But the farmhouse is more than a historic artifact. Farmhouse style continues to evolve into the 21st century, carrying with it the best of the past while adapting to our modern lifestyle. Whether built in 1720 or 2020, a farmhouse is instantly recognizable for its main rectangular form, gabled or lean-to additions, various outbuildings, and spartan architecture, among other hallmarks. While the farmhouse's use of natural materials and basic construction is indicative of its traditional, sensible nature, modern farmhouses might equally be built according to Passive House or other energy-efficient standards. Whether true to tradition or adapted for a modern lifestyle, the houses featured in Farmhouse are a testament to the flexibility, durability, longevity, and--above all else--the everlasting appeal of the American farmhouse.

Well, said Jack meditatively, after all, it couldn't have been such bad fun in the old times. Think of seeing a man ducked at the yard-arm! That must have been prime. But I say, he went on, this fellow must have drawn a very long bow with his enchanted islands, and so forth. I wonder if people believed him!

Download or read book Terry John Woods New Farmhouse Style written by Terry John Woods and published by Harry N. Abrams. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Needham House, an 1820s farmhouse nestled in Vermont's Green Mountains, is artist Terry John Woods' beloved home--and it's the canvas on which he works out his design ideas. Here, Woods has reinvented his family homestead while adding visual and tactile pleasure to every part of the house and garden. His eclectic, mix-and-match sensibility is unafraid to combine the finely polished with the charmingly weathered, the treasured heirloom with the just-discovered flea market find. It's an approach that invites you to use your own interpretation of light, color, texture, and form to assemble an environment that showcases your personal style. Apartment dwellers, suburban homeowners, and those lucky enough to possess their own rural retreats will be equally inspired by Woods' farmhouse and by his reflections on a way of living that embraces the moment, comforts the body, and kindles the spirit.
