So, I say, it was like having the territory of his enemy lying between him and the deep water  save, as I have also said, in one particular, to wit: that the owner  the Sarah Pressel I have mentioned  was not Old Baumgartner's enemy. In fact, they were tremendous friends. SO I SAY IT WAS LIKE HAVING THE TERRITORY OF HIS ENEMY LYING BETWEEN HIM IN THE DEEP WATER SAVE AS I HAVE ALSO SAID IN ONE PARTICULAR TO WIT THAT THE OWNER SARAH PRESSELL THAT I HAVE MENTIONED WAS NOT OLD BAUM GARDNER'S ENEMY IN FACT THEY WERE TREMENDOUS FRIENDS
ning Old Baumgartner's longing for certain lands, tenements and hereditaments--using his own phrase--which were not his own, but which adjoined his. It had passed into a proverb of the vicinage; indeed, though the property in question belonged to one Sarah Pressel, it was known colloquially as "Baumgartner's Yearn." And the reason of it was this: Between his own farm and the public road (and the railroad station when it came) lay the fairest meadow-land farmer's eye had ever rested upon. (I am speaking again for the father of Seffy and with his hyperbole.) Save in one particular, it was like an enemy's beautiful territory lying between one's less beautiful own and the open sea--keeping one a poor inlander who is mad for the seas--whose crops must either pass across the land of his adversary and pay tithes to him, or go by long distances around him at the cost of greater tithes to the soulless owners of the turnpikes--who aggravatingly fix a gate each way to make their tithes more sure. NT FOR A PLEASING DIGRESSION FOR YOU MUST BE TOLD EARLY CONSIDERING OLD BAUM GARDENER'S LONGING FOR CERTAIN LANDS TENEMENTS AND HEREDITIMENTS USING HIS OWN PHRASE WHICH WERE NOT HIS OWN BUT WHICH ADJOINED HIS IT HAD PASSED INTO A PROVERB OF THE VISAGE INDEED THOUGH THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION BELONGED TO ONE'S SARAH PRECELL IT WAS KNOWN COLELY AS MOB GARDNER'S YARN AND THE REASON OF IT WAS THIS BETWEEN HIS OWN FARM AND THE PUBLIC ROAD AND THE RAILROAD STATION WHEN IT CAME LAY THE FAIREST METAL END FARMER'S EYE HAD EVER RESTED UPON I AM SPEAKING AGAIN FOR THE FATHER CETHIE AND WITH HIS HYPERBOLE SAVE IN ONE PARTICULAR IT WAS LIKE AN ENEMY'S BEAUTIFUL TERRITORY LYING BETWEEN ONE'S LESS BEAUTIFUL OWN AND THE OPEN SEA KEEPING ONE A POOR INLANDER WHOSE CROPS MUST EITHER PASS ACROSS THE LAND OF HIS ADVERSARY AND PAY TIES TO HIM OR GO BY LONG DISTANCES AROUND HIM AT THE COST OF GREATER TIES TO THE SOULLESS OWNERS OF THE TURNPIKES WHO AGGRAVATINGLY FIX A GAIT EACH WAY TO MAKE THEIR TIES MORE SURE
