First lines

I do not tell you whether the village of Repton, where the two brothers, John and Charles Adams, originally resided, is near or far from London: it is a pretty village to this day; and when John Adams, some five-and-thirty years ago, stood on the top of Repton Hill and looked down upon the houses -- the little church, whose simple gate was flanked by two noble yew trees, beneath whose branches he had often sat -- the murmuring river in which he had often fished -- the cherry orchards, where the ripe fruit hung like balls of coral; when he looked down upon all these dear domestic sights -- for so every native of Repton considered them -- John Adams might have been supposed to question if he had acted wisely in selling to his brother Charles the share of the well-cultivated farm, which had been equally divided at their father's death.
