"But I should be glad to hear from your own lips, Mr. Mollett, that you acknowledge the marriage, which took place at at Fulham, I think you said, ma'am?" "At Putney, sir; at Putney parish church, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and fourteen." "Ah, that was the year before Mr. Mollett went into Dorsetshire." "Yes, sir. He didn't stay with me long, not at that time.
He knew that the Fulham Road upon which he was now walking was a boundary of Chelsea. He knew that the Queen's Elm public-house had its name from the tradition that Elizabeth had once sheltered from a shower beneath an elm tree which stood at that very corner. He knew that Chelsea had been a 'village of palaces, and what was the function of the Thames in the magnificent life of that village.
Before 1686 it was Wandon and Wansdon, according to Crofton Croker, and Lysons derives it from Wendon, either because the traveller had to wend his way through it to Fulham, or because the drainage from higher grounds "wandered" through it to the river. The Church of St. John is situated at Walham Green. It has a high square tower with corner pinnacles, and is partly covered with ivy.
The bus, with 'Liverpool Street' inscribed on its forehead, rolled its straight inevitable course along Fulham Road, pursued by the disappointed glances of gesturing wayfarers who wanted it to take them to Liverpool Street. After about two hours of fine confused shopping the Major stopped his bus at a Tube station in the north of London. "I mustn't forget my pens," said he.
For years and years it had gone off in splendid style, as long as anyone could remember; ever since Kate and Julia, after the death of their brother Pat, had left the house in Stoney Batter and taken Mary Jane, their only niece, to live with them in the dark, gaunt house on Usher's Island, the upper part of which they had rented from Mr. Fulham, the corn-factor on the ground floor.
Faulkner gives a notice relative to it embodied in an order relating to Wormholt Wood, presented at a court held for the Manor of Fulham on May 9, 1603, which runs as follows: "That no person or persons shall put in any horse or other cattle into Hell-brook until the last day of April every year henceforth: nor shall not at any time after the 11th of May put in nor take out any of their said cattles, any other way but the old and accustomed way upon pain to forfeit to the lord for every such offence £01.00.00."
'I'm not fit for it, he thought; 'I mustn't I'm not fit for it. The cab sped on, and in mechanical procession trees, houses, people passed, but had no significance. 'I feel very queer, he thought; 'I'll take a Turkish bath. I've been very near to something. It won't do. The cab whirred its way back over the bridge, up the Fulham Road, along the Park. "To the Hammam," said Soames.
"You can come to Fulham if you like, only you must not scold the maids." "Very well, Sir Thomas," said Stemm, with hardly any variation in his voice, but still with less of care upon his brow. "Mind, I will not have you scolding them at the villa." "Not unless they deserve it, Sir Thomas," said Stemm. Sir Thomas could say nothing further.
I thought I was quite a woman, and have thought so ever since. I recollect that I often peeped out, and longed to run about the world; but I went two or three yards from the door, and felt so frightened, that I ran back as fast as I could. Since that I have seldom quitted the house for an hour, and never have been out of Fulham." "Then you have never been at school?" "O, no never.
Passing along the Putney Bridge Road from the High Street, Brewhouse Lane runs north to the waterside; on one side are rows of new shops, on the other a swimming-bath. This lane was formerly one of the principal landings for ferry passengers to Putney, but to-day is almost deserted. An engraving of Fulham by Preist in 1738 is evidently taken from the steps, and shows the bridge and Fulham Church.
