A little hamlet, whose roofs were blent with trees, straggled up the side of one of these hills; the church of the district stood nearer Thornfield: its old tower top looked over a knoll between the house and gates. Церковь стояла ближе к усадьбе. Ее старинная колокольня выглядывала из-за небольшого пригорка между домом и воротами.
