The day was fair, the tide at the flood; in the woods, across the water, I could see where Netley Abbey, another Cistercian house, younger than Beaulieu, once lifted up its voice in ceaseless praise of God, the Maker of all that beauty in which it stood, scarcely spoiled even now by the amazing energy of the modern world.
The town and country houses selected for the Prince and Princess of Wales were Marlborough House and Sandringham. On the 4th of April Princess Alice's first child, a daughter, was born at Windsor. On the 8th of May the Queen paid a visit to the military hospital at Netley, in which the Prince Consort had been much interested. Her Majesty left England on the 11th of August for Belgium and Germany.
They inspire one's imagination too, don't you think? I shall never forget that chap's black rage, his blazing eyes, his hooked nose as he stood by the locked door. I wonder what the people next door thought, just getting into bed! "This is a letter, eh! Well, I must dry up, or I shall never get to bed. If I see any more of my strange friend I'll let you know.

An arrogant white steam yacht, flying the ensign of the Royal Yacht Squadron, sliced her silent way through the water behind us. Shabby boats with stained, discoloured sails and chipped paint bore large parties seaward. The stiff front of Netley Hospital shone white in the sun.

The enthusiasm of such pursuits is, likewise, an everlasting source of delight; for who can visit such shrines as Netley, St.
