He just missed a train at Chiswick station, and in desperation he took a cab to Gunnersbury and caught a Mansion House train. He got out at St. James' Park, and pulling his coat collar up he hastened across to Pall Mall. He chose the shortest cut to Jermyn street, and on the north side of St.
'Mrs. Abbott Alma just dropped the name, as if beginning a remark, but lapsed into silence. 'Shall I tell you all about her? said Rolfe. 'Her husband's death left her in great difficulties; she had hardly anything. A friend of hers, a Mrs. Langland, who lives at Gunnersbury, was very kind and helpful. They talked things over, and Mrs.
At Frankfort, Vienna, Ferrières, and Gunnersbury little meadows of it are grown that is, the plants flourish at their own sweet will, uncumbered with pots, in houses devoted to them. Rising from a carpet of palms and maidenhair, each crowned with its drooping garland of rose and crimson and cinnamon-brown, they make a glorious show indeed.
And if one lives in London, it's in the nature of things to change houses once a year or so. 'But we don't live in London! returned Alma, with a laugh. 'Much the same thing. At Gunnersbury you would be nearer to everything, you know. 'Then you would send away Pauline? Harvey made a restless movement, and gave a husky cough. 'Well, I don't know.

Upon one meeting and a short conversation, with subsequent remarks from Edgar Abbott, Rolfe had grounded a very favourable opinion of Mrs Langland. She dwelt clearly in his mind as 'a woman with no nonsense about her', likely to be of much helpfulness at a crisis such as the present.
On reaching home, she at once sent them an ordinary invitation, but of the briefest. In the evening she received Dymes's acknowledgment of the cheque. Next day she wrote to him, a few formal lines, requesting that he would let her know Mrs. Strangeways' address as soon as he had discovered it. Dora Leach came to Gunnersbury alone.
Harvey thought of the happiness of children who are born, and live through all their childhood, in such an atmosphere as this. Then he thought of his own child, who had in truth no home at all. A house in Wales a house at Pinner a house at Gunnersbury presently a house somewhere else.
It was with surprise, therefore, and some annoyance, that he received Alma's reply to his proposal for their going over to Gunnersbury next week. 'Are you quite sure, she said, rather coldly, 'that Mrs. Abbott will teach better than Pauline? 'It isn't only that. Hughie must have companions. I thought we had agreed about it.
