Red House

Red House,Squire Cass's home at Raveloe. "The Squire's wife had died long ago, and the Red House was without that presence of the wife and mother which is the fountain of wholesome love and fear in parlour and kitchen . . . The fading grey light fell dimly on the walls, decorated with guns, whips, and foxes' brushes, on coats and hats flung on the chairs, on tankards sending forth a scent of flat ale, and on a halfchoked fire, with pipes propped up in the chimney-corners: signs of a domestic life destitute of any hallowing charm."
