Excerpt from An Old Country House, Vol. 1: A Novel How much more romantic than romance - more unlikely than fiction, for truly has it been remarked so often - "Le vrai n'est pas toujours le vraisemblable." Still there is much in what we see or hear around us, which less closely familiar and defined, leaves to the imagination free liberty and play to work itself out into form and substance to the living or the dead.

Excerpt from Country Houses, Vol. 1 of 3 That must be a little your own fault, Frederic, replied Lady Vernon, for I have no idea how people of education and talents can be so tired of themselves, when they have so much power of employment, and employment often brings amusement.

Country houses were grand statements of power and status, but they were also places where people lived. This book traces the changes in layout, the new technologies, and the innovations in furniture that made them more convenient and comfortable. It argues that these material changes were just one aspect of comfort in the country house: feeling comfortable was just as important as being comfortable. Achieving this involved the comfort and solace to be found in daily routines, religious faith and, above all, relationships with family and friends. Such emotional comforts, and the attachment to things and places that embodied and memorialized them, made country houses into homes.
