The twilight was beginning to fade away beneath the brilliancy of the full moon when we ran into the village of Bodiam, where stands one of the most perfect of the ancient castellated mansions to be found in the Kingdom. We paused a few minutes to view it from a distance and found ourselves directly in front of a neat-looking hotel the Castle Inn.
A special messenger pelted down to Bodiam, where, after his return to England, he had been staying for a month, the hero of his relatives. The messenger brought the other London, news that the guns of the Tower had been firing, to announce the birth of the Queen's first child, the Princess Royal.
'We ought to be heavily armed and then shoot at them when they advance to the attack. 'They used to pour boiling lead down on besiegers when they got too close, said Anthea. 'Father showed me the holes on purpose for pouring it down through at Bodiam Castle. And there are holes like it in the gate-tower here. 'I think I'm glad it's only a game; it IS only a game, isn't it? said Jane.
There are few things that we have more reason for rejoicing over, for we saw the gray walls and towers of Bodiam Castle under the enchanting influence of a full, summer moon. The castle was built in 1385 and appears to have been intended more as a palatial residence than a feudal fortress.
