Text Appearing Before Image:
g. 34. To the south-east of the bridge is a terrace, and from the pool crossed bythe bridge, there runs a canal or rill parallel with the south-west front (Fig. 34). It is interrupted mid-length by asquare pool, and from it rises a pedestal occupied by a bronzeboy bearing on his shoulder a dolphin, from whose mouthissues a jet of water. The rill finishes in a round tankbacked by a double winding stair at the north-west boundaryof the garden. Much could be written of the fine oppor-tunities given to the enthusiast in every kind of gardening,and especially of wall treatment, but the successes achieved,and the skilful planting which made them possible, havebeen fully described by word and plan in Gardens for SmallCountry Houses, and need not be repeated here. It sufficesfor me to say that Miss Jekyll worked with the architectin producing effects of singular richness. Fig. 35 shows with what a lavish hand Sir Edwin usedtimber in the construction of a house which is rightly Tudorin spirit.
