Thorny's description of Glenthorne Estate / Manor in other posts and on another board is much more poetically descriptive than what you have here Jack. Thorny may in fact have an estate comprised of two thousand acres. The joke here is the snobbish way in which he talks about his property. I would like to meet him someday because I will bet that he is not at all the "country gentleman snob" that he portrays in his writings / rantings.
