The Small House at Allington

Lily is the niece of Squire Dale, an embittered old bachelor entrenched in the "Great House" at Allington. His sister-in-law lives at the adjacent "Small House" with her two daughters and the action centres on the relations between the two houses and on the romantic entanglements of the girls.

Lily este nepoata lui Squire Dale, un batran burlac amar inradacinat in ,,Casa Mare" din Allington. Cumnata lui locuieste la ,,Casa Mica" alaturata cu cele doua fiice ale ei, iar actiunea se concentreaza pe relatiile dintre cele doua case si pe incurcaturile romantice ale fetelor.
