English to French Art/Literary Poetry & Literature

Sir Walter Scott writing about his property Abbotsford :

‘I have always had a private dislike to a regular shape of a house’, he explained, ‘although, no doubt, it would be wrong-headed to set about building an irregular one from the beginning. But when the cottage enlarges itself and grows out of circumstance, which is the case at Abbotsford, the ***outs and inns ***afford, without, so much variety and depth of shade, and, within, give such an odd variety of snug accommodation that they far exceed in my estimation the cut-lugged bandbox with four rooms on a floor and two stories rising regularly above the other’.
