The Towers is really our only show-place, explained Dolly,

It is very large.

About two thousand acres. Robert, I fancy, cares for the trees more than anything else.

And he lives here alone?

With Uncle John Kimberly. Uncle John is all alone in the world, and a paralytic.

How unfortunate!
human
Yes. It is unfortunate in some ways; in others not so much so. Don’t be shocked. Ours is so big a family we have many kinds. Uncle John! mercy! he led his poor Lydia a life. And she was a saint if ever a wife was one. I hope she has gone to her reward. She never saw through all the weary years, never knew, _outwardly_, anything of his wickedness.

There is the house. See, up through the trees? We shall get a fine view in a minute. I don’t know why it has to be, but each generation of our family has had a brainy Kimberly and a wicked Kimberly. The legend is, that when they meet in one, the Kimberlys will end.
