There was but one entrance, a modern door, with a fiat arch, garnished with a piece of tapestry on the inside, and on the outside by one of those porches of Irish wood, frail edifices of cabinet−work curiously wrought, numbers of which were still to be seen in old houses a hundred and fifty years ago.
Il n’y avait qu’une entrée, une porte moderne, à cintre surbaissé, garnie d’une tapisserie en dedans, et, au dehors, d’un de ces porches de bois d’Irlande, frêles édifices de menuiserie curieusement ouvrée, qu’on voyait encore en quantité de vieux logis il y a cent cinquante ans.
