Excerpt from The Belton Estate: A Novel Belton Castle is a pretty country seat, stand ing in a small but beautifully-wooded park, close under the Quantock hills in Somersetshire; and the little town of Belton clusters round the park gates. Few Englishmen know the scene ry of England well, and the prettinesses of Somersetshire are among those which are the least known. But the Quantock hills are very lovely, with their rich valleys lying close among them, and their outlying moorlands running off towards Dulverton and the borders of Devon shire, - moorlands which are not flat, like Salis bury Plain, but are broken into ravines and deep watercourses and rugged dells hither and thither where old oaks are standing in which life seems to have dwindled down to the last Spark; but the last spark is still there, and the old oaks give forth their scanty leaves from year to year.
