SIR OLIVER TRESSILIAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I. THE HUCKSTER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSir Oliver Tressilian sat at his ease in the lofty dining-room of the\u003cbr\u003ehandsome house of Penarrow, which he owed to the enterprise of his\u003cbr\u003efather of lamented and lamentable memory and to the skill and invention\u003cbr\u003eof an Italian engineer named Bagnolo who had come to England half a\u003cbr\u003ecentury ago as one of the assistants of the famous Torrigiani.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis house of such a startlingly singular and Italianate grace for so\u003cbr\u003eremote a corner of Cornwall deserves, together with the story of its\u003cbr\u003econstruction, a word in passing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Italian Bagnolo who combined with his salient artistic talents a\u003cbr\u003equarrelsome, volcanic humour had the mischance to kill a man in a brawl\u003cbr\u003ein a Southwark tavern. As a result he fled the town, nor paused in his\u003cbr\u003eheadlong flight from the consequences of that murderous deed until he\u003cbr\u003ehad all but reached the very ends of England. Under what circumstances\u003cbr\u003ehe became acquainted with Tressilian the elder I do not know. But\u003cbr\u003ecertain it is that the meeting was a very timely one for both of them.\u003cbr\u003eTo the fugitive, Ralph Tressilian--who appears to have been inveterately\u003cbr\u003epartial to the company of rascals of all denominations--afforded\u003cbr\u003eshelter; and Bagnolo repaid the service by offering to rebuild the\u003cbr\u003edecaying half-timbered house of Penarrow. Having taken the task in\u003cbr\u003ehand he went about it with all the enthusiasm of your true artist, and\u003cbr\u003eachieved for his protector a residence that was a marvel of grace\u003cbr\u003ein that crude age and outlandish district. There arose under the\u003cbr\u003esupervision of the gifted engineer, worthy associate of Messer\u003cbr\u003eTorrigiani, a noble two-storied mansion of mellow red brick, flooded\u003cbr\u003ewith light and sunshine by the enormously tall mullioned windows that\u003cbr\u003erose almost from base to summit of each pilastered facade. The main\u003cbr\u003edoorway was set in a projecting wing and was overhung by a massive\u003cbr\u003ebalcony, the whole surmounted by a pillared pediment of extraordinary\u003cbr\u003egrace, now partly clad in a green mantle of creepers. Above the burnt\u003cbr\u003ered tiles of the roof soared massive twisted chimneys in lofty majesty.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145638232304,"sku":"2940013411425","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013411425_p0.jpg?v=1763580893","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013411425","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
