Ferriby

Ferriby by Marjorie Brown is about the restless life of old sailor Ferriby Grange. Excerpt: «The place was a lonesome one—lonely on a large scale. There were cottages near in twos and threes, an inn not a quarter of a mile away, a wheelwright's shop, and a Primitive Methodist chapel, but Ferriby Grange found no company in these. The loneliness was beyond the recognition of most: the old house stood bereft of its kind, lonely for the days of joyous mirth and plenteous fullness that had so long ceased to be.»
