Left: to myself for a moment or so ina Wellington drawing-room the other day I heard high . young voices beyond the window. The room ran the length of the house and the window looked on to the cool green of the back garden. Three small boys played on some steps. One stood stony-faced while another kept up a monologue apparently calculated to entertain. The third hung back uncertainly. -This went on a moment.
