lodgeOriginally an insubstantial dwelling, or one erected for a temporary occupational purpose (e.g., woodcutting or masonry) or for use during the hunting season. The lodge became a more permanent type of house as the lands around European mansions were developed as parks. The lodge was often the cottage of the gamekeeper, caretaker, gatekeeper, or gardener, or it could be a larger building for occupation by a higher-ranking person. Today the word suggests a rustic dwelling or inn in a natural setting, often one used seasonally (e.g., a ski lodge). |

| Stone Lodge was situated on a moor within a mile or two of a great town - called Coketown in the present faithful guide-book. The big, old house at Ergushovo had been pulled down long ago, and the old prince had had the lodge done up and built on to. There's no town without a lodge, and where there is a lodge I'll find my friends. |
