McCaslin-Edmonds Place in "A Point of Law" (Location)

The "big house" where Roth Edmonds lives at the center of his property is at the end of a "private road [that] mounts among oaks to [a] crest" (213). It is "seventeen miles" from Jefferson (218). In this text readers only get as close to it as Lucas does, when he stands "on the ground" and knocks on the front of the "veranda" to summon his landlord (214).
