Question

Barton Park was about half a mile from the cottage. The ladies had passed near it in their way along

the valley, but it was screened from their view at home by the projection of a hill. The house was

large and handsome; and the Middletons lived in a style of equal hospitality and elegance. The

former was for Sir John’s gratification, the latter for that of his lady. They were scarcely ever without

some friends staying with them in the house, and they kept more company of every kind than any

other family in the neighbourhood. It was necessary to the happiness of both; for however dissimilar

in temper and outward behavior, they strongly resembled each other in that total want of talent and

taste which confined their employments, unconnected with such as society produced, within a very

narrow compass. Sir John was a sportsman, Lady Middleton a mother. He hunted and shot, and she

humoured her children; and these were their only resources. Lady Middleton had the advantage of

being able to spoil her children all the year round; while Sir John’s independent employments were

in existence only half the time.

a. How far was Barton Park from the cottage?

b. Why did the ladies not see the cottage even when they had passed near it?
