Excerpt from The Rochemonts: A Story of Three Homes East Repton is not far from the sea; and the roar Of the great billows of the German Ocean may be heard on wintry nights, as they break against the base Of the sand-cliffs Of that desolate shore. The small watering-place Of Rollestone lies some four or five miles to the north Of East Repton but all along, the coast is thinly peopled, and there are only a few fishing hamlets, half hidden in the little lonely chines or chasms in the cliffs, which attract but little notice and are inhabited by rough sea faring folk, who have but scant communication with the outer world. There are but three houses Of any importance in East Repton the Hall, the Cottage, and the High Bank House.
