The Old house (14) [The Old House]

The Old house (14)

The boy watched from the window.

He saw the knights in armour and the ladies with their silken gowns being carried out of the house.

The old high-backed chairs, the funny flowerpots with faces and donkey ears were bought by strangers.

Only the portrait of the lady found no buyer; it was returned to the pawnbroker.

There is hung ; no one remembered her nd no one cared for the old picture.

Next spring the house itself was torn down.
" It was a monstrosity, " said the leather-covered walls; the leather was torn and hung flapping like banners in the wind.

The gras and weeds on the balcony chung tenaciously to the broken beams.

But at last all was cleared away.

" That was good, " said the neighbouring houses.
