"Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius"
Samuel Dill
We get murders in brand-new suburban villas and the virtues, light-heartedness and good-fellowship, in moated granges.
"Max Carrados"
Ernest Bramah
The stately and solemn ilex, marshalled into long avenues, showed the way to substantial granges or luxurious villas.
"Callista"
John Henry Cardinal Newman
