Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 May 1917 — Spacious Mansion. [ARTICLE]

Spacious Mansion.

The visitor from Manhattan had been talking of the size of some of the millionaires’ palaces on Long island; but when in the course of his tour he was brought to a certain castle in Warwickshire he admitted that it was “a fair size.” “A fair size,” echoed his guide, who was feeling a little tired of the Yankees depreciation of everything that was not American. “A fair size? I should say it was! Why, you can’t tell how big it is from the outside! Wait till you get Inside. There are so many rooms and cellars and corridors in that house, sir, that the visitors get lost in it when they go for the first time, and the duke keeps a pack of trained bloodhounds to track ’em down and chase ’em back to the dining room in time for dinner!” —Reheboth Sunday Herald.
