The situation is beautiful . It looks to the sunset and has the great blue harbor before it . The sand-dunes are n't very far away -- the sea winds blow over them and the sea spray drenches them . '' `` But the house itself , Gilbert , -- OUR first home ? What is it like ? '' `` Not very large , but large enough for us . There 's a splendid living room with a fireplace in it downstairs , and a dining room that looks out on the harbor , and a little room that will do for my office . It is about sixty years old -- the oldest house in Four Winds . But it has been kept in pretty good repair , and was all done over about fifteen years ago -- shingled , plastered and re-floored . It was well built to begin with . I understand that there was some romantic story connected with its building , but the man I rented it from did n't know it . '' `` He said Captain Jim was the only one who could spin that old yarn now . '' `` Who is Captain Jim ? '' `` The keeper of the lighthouse on Four Winds Point . You 'll love that Four Winds light , Anne . It 's a revolving one , and it flashes like a magnificent star through the twilights . We can see it from our living room windows and our front door . '' `` Who owns the house ? '' `` Well , it 's the property of the Glen St. Mary Presbyterian Church now , and I rented it from the trustees . But it belonged until lately to a very old lady , Miss Elizabeth Russell .
She died last spring , and as she had no near relatives she left her property to the Glen St. Mary XXXXX .
