“Distinguished guests were regularly invited to St. Cuthbert's manse.”

“He is innocent by his ignorance, a simple dullard who can return to his yacht or gated manse comforted by the knowledge that he is not a crook.”

“But the fact is some manses can be a real millstone, because you have got to pay for heating and lighting out of your own stipend.”

“This land comprised dismembered lands of the old manses or lands won from the former or by assarting from the waste.”

“Cathcart might, before this, come with the list of manses and their occupants.”
