Question

Note to players: description acceptable. In an improvised lie about a visit to this location, a character claims to have waved flags and swords while four dogs fought for veal cutlets from a silver dish. The bewildered protagonist is forced into a fistfight at a garden in this location, which he wins without taking a single hit from his challenger, a “pale young gentleman.” (15[1])While two characters leave the ruins of this location, the “evening mists” reveal “no shadow of another parting.” The owner of this house (15[2])asks the recipient of a check to write “I forgive her” below her name, moments before her (*) dress catches fire. This house's clocks all display twenty minutes to nine, the time its owner received a letter calling off her engagement to Compeyson. For 10 points, name this ruined home of Estella and her wedding dress-wearing guardian in Great Expectations. ■END■
