Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed santa clara valley. judge miller's place, it was called. it stood back from the road, half-hidden among the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the wide cool veranda that ran around its four sides. the house was approached by graveled driveways which wound about through wide-spreading lawns and under the interlacing boughs of tall poplars. at the rear, things were on even a more spacious scale than at the front. there were great stables, where a dozen grooms and boys held forth, rows of vine-clad servants' cottages, an endless and orderly array of outhouses, long grape arbors, green pastures, orchards, and berry patches. then there was the pumping plant for the artesian well, and the big cement tank where judge miller's boys took their morning plunge and kept cool in the hot afternoon.
