You could have knocked me down with a feather when I bought a Telegraph at Gunnersbury station this morning, and saw the headlines." "And I first heard of it at breakfast I got up rather late. I opened the Globe and there it was, staring me in the eyes. It knocked my appetite, I can assure you. What do you make of it?" "It's a mystery," replied Stephen Foster, "and I am all in the dark about it.
Would it be possible to cancel your agreement with the Gunnersbury man? If not, couldn't you sublet, with little or no loss? The Pinner house isn't let yet is it? Do let us stay where we are. I think it is the first serious request I ever made of you, and I think you will see that I have some right to make it. 'I had rather, much rather, that Hughie did not go to Mrs. Abbott's school.
In some parts of Germany this plant is one of the commonest of window ornaments, and it is so well grown by the peasants there, that the whole window space is completely screened by the numerous long, tail-like stems, 4 ft. or 6 ft. long, which hang from baskets. It is sometimes cultivated by cottagers in England, and we have seen a very fine specimen in a cottager's window in Gunnersbury.

Distance is the chief objection. 'But you think of moving to Gunnersbury? 'Yes, I do. I'm thinking of it seriously. Will you go over with me one day next week!

A girl was sitting on a bench near the shore, pensively watching the sun drooping over the misty ramparts of Kew Bridge; she held a closed book in one hand, and by her side lay a sketching-block and a box of colors.
With difficulty he persuaded Mrs. Abbott to sit down and write a few lines, to be posted at once to Gunnersbury. 'I haven't dared to ask her to come. But I have said that I am alone. 'Quite enough, I think, if she is at home. He took his leave, and drove back to Bayswater, posting the letter and despatching two telegrams on the way. Of course, his visit to Greystone was given up.
