In other respects there is little outward change now discernible in our old friends, or in the pleasant house-place, bright with polished oak and pewter. ❋ Unknown (2004)
So he turned, with rather a heavy heart, into the house-place. ❋ Unknown (2004)
Mrs. Poyser accepted this compromise, but thought it advisable to bar and bolt to the utmost; and now, at the last moment before starting, Nancy, the dairy-maid, was closing the shutters of the house-place, although the window, lying under the immediate observation of Alick and the dogs, might have been supposed the least likely to be selected for a burglarious attempt. ❋ Unknown (2004)

The whole party was assembled in the house-place when ❋ Unknown (2004)
Adam said, in a tone of encouraging command; and Gyp, apparently satisfied that duty and pleasure were one, followed Lisbeth into the house-place. ❋ Unknown (2004)
At last a morose man with sandy whiskers came down the step from the house-place. ❋ Unknown (2003)
