I am poor; for I find that, when I have paid my father's debts, all the patrimony remaining to me will be this crumbling grange, the row of scathed firs behind, and the patch of moorish soil, with the yew-trees and holly-bushes in front.
Я беден; когда я уплачу долги отца, мне останется в наследство лишь этот старый хутор, ряд искалеченных елей позади него, а перед ним - клочок болотистой земли с кустами остролиста.
