Here is the card, and now that three hours have intervened I cannot tell which way to turn the drawing so as to make the bridge right side up; if there is anything puzzling in the world, it is these architectural plans and diagrams.

The Reverend George Austen preached at Steventon for years and years, and I should go and see the church the same church where he preached and where Jane Austen used to go.
