About this book
Retired from the army, General Ople hires a pony-carriage to look at houses near London and falls for a half-acre estate called Douro Lodge, with a gate lodge like two sentry-boxes and a walled kitchen-garden. His daughter Elizabeth, eighteen, is about to run the household. The only window that overlooks him belongs to an empty house next door, which two seasons later is taken by a lady rumoured to be eccentric. The title sets the General beside Lady Camper. A short comic tale by George Meredith.
