Note A — Chapter XXI
Reading edition
The modern Witherslack Hall, in Westmoreland, is the property of the present Earl of Derby. It is situated in a lovely neighbourhood which instinctively recalls the words of the poet:
“Daffodils, That come before the swallow dares, and take, The winds of March with beauty.” — Winter’s Tale.
Witherslack is reached from Arnside, Silverdale, or Grange-over-Sands.
The old Witherslack Hall of the Leybournes is now a farm-house.
