Excerpt: "In der Mitte der Haupt­stra­ße von High­mar­ket stand eine wuch­ti­ge, mas­si­ve Tor­fahrt, die noch aus dem Mit­tel­al­ter stamm­te. Wenn man hin­durch­ging, kam man auf einen qua­dra­ti­schen Hof, zu des­sen Sei­ten sich alte Stein­häu­ser er­ho­ben. Wel­cher Be­stim­mung die­se Ge­bäu­de frü­her ge­dient hat­ten, war nicht mehr zu er­ken­nen, jetzt wur­de hier ein Bau­ge­schäft be­trie­ben. Gro­ße Sta­pel nor­we­gi­schen Hol­zes türm­ten sich an der Mau­er; Schie­fer­plat­ten aus Wa­les, Mar­mor­stu­fen aus Aber­de­en und Ze­ment von Port­land la­ger­ten hier in Men­gen. Die Räu­me der Ge­bäu­de wa­ren mit al­len mög­li­chen Ma­te­ria­li­en ge­füllt, die zum Haus­bau be­nö­tigt wur­den: Tür- und Fens­ter­be­schlä­ge aus Ei­sen und Bron­ze, Zink, Blei, Dach­zie­gel, Röh­ren und alle Be­darfs­ar­ti­kel, die die mo­der­ne Tech­nik da­für ge­schaf­fen hat­te. Auf ei­ner po­lier­ten Mes­sing­plat­te am Ein­gang konn­te man den Na­men der Fir­ma le­sen: Mal­la­lieu & Co­ther­sto­ne, Bau­ge­schäft."
