146 a marvelous bit of masonry 2


My maid Matthew has always been a bit of maverick 3. His No.1 macsome appears to be “look out for No.1”, by that expression, he means himself. He does whatever he thinks is right, and he offers his comments on whatever comes into his mind. He even wrote to the Los Angeles zoo not so long ago to offer his suggestions on getting their reluctant giant pandas to mate. Matthew can afford to do his own thing. He came into a large inheritance when he was still quite young. One of his prime pieces of real estate is a villa 4 outside of town above the marsh 5 by the sea. It is a marvelous and matchless masterpiece, a marvel 1 of late 19th century Neel Gothic architecture. One can only stand and marvel at the mind of the mason who brought this artistry into being. A masker of Matthew’s grandfather graces the main entrance, and the matching drawing is found in the villa’s cavernous library. Sadly the villa stands empty much of the time, as Matthew does not seem to be able to find the time to care for its upkeep. Every once in a while therefore a piece of masonry will drop off its massive facade 6. The marsh expands below was the scene of March marshal activity during the war of independence. Soldiers would march off to marine 7 engagements with Britain, that great marry time nation. Newly-weds, many of them, marital 8 bless was abruptly 9 cut short by marshal endeavor.
