The Bray house had beenthe finest in the region a hundred years before the Pepperrell mansionwas built; it still remembers its consequence in the panelling andwainscoting of the large, square parlor where the young people weremarried and in the elaborate staircase cramped into the little, squarehall; and the Bray fortune helped materially to swell the wealth of thePepperrells.
I do not know that I should care now to have a man able to ride thirtymiles on his own land; but I do not mind Sir Will...iam's having done ithere a hundred and fifty years ago; and I wish the confiscations had lefthis family, say, about a mile of it. They could now, indeed, enjoy itonly in the collateral branches, for all Sir William's line is extinct. The splendid mansion which he built his daughter is in alien hands, andthe fine old house which Lady Pepperrell built herself after his deathbelongs to the remotest of kinsmen. A group of these, the descendants ofa prolific sister of the baronet, meets every year at Kittery Point asthe Pepperrell Association, and, in a tent hard by the little grove ofdrooping spruces which shade the admirable renaissance cenotaph of SirWilliam's father, cherishes the family memories with due American"proceedings.
