The Delectable Duchy

Excerpt from The Delectable Duchy: Stories, Studies, and Sketches

A week ago, my friend the Journalist wrote to remind me that once upon a time I had offered him, a bed in my cottage at Troy and promised to show him the beauties of the place. He was about (he said) to give himself a fortnights holiday, and had some notion of using that time to learn what Cornwall was like. He could spare but one day for Troy, and hardly looked to exhaust its attractions; nevertheless, if my promise held good .... By anticipation he spoke of my home as a "nook."
