Opis: The Balance of Power - Goodrich Arthur Frederick

Excerpt from The Balance of Power: A Novel

The settlers of Hampstead, Connecticut, stopped half way up the red-soiled incline which separates beyond into two broad summits. The town grew up the rest of the way, unsatisfied until it reached the top, first of West Hill and later of the lower East Hill. The factories took the only place left, the lower half of the incline at the bottom of which runs Hampstead River, deep and narrow, evidently planned to furnish power for mill-wheels.

High on the summit of West Hill, where even in the early eighties the factory owners and officers and the professional people lived and looked down upon the workers in the shops whose frame houses dotted thickly the eastern summit, were two houses side by side, of which the owners were proud and the rest of the town envious. One was built of irregular gray stone, square and strong; over its front and sides crept thick ivy which turned a wonderful red in the autumn; before it spread a broad trim lawn shaded with big trees and bordered with a high hedge, and behind it stretched terrace after terrace of orchard and garden.
