In Nathaniel Hawthorne's "House of the Seven Gables," Gervayse Pyncheon summons Matthew Maule and makes him a proposition. If he can find the land deed Pyncheon covets, the House of Seven Gables is his. Pyncheon doesn't like the house due to a bad experience there as a youth, and he finds it inadequate for his cosmopolitan sensibilities.
