The Prioress of Kennington, as I have just described her, is a specimen of nearly all the prioresses and other conventual authorities of her day. This handsomely-dressed lady was stiff and stately in her manner, and uttered, with the proudest mien, words expressive only of the most abject humility.
It was half an hour before midnight when the party took their places, and, getting smartly away from the crowd in the gala grounds, shot over the river, and shortly were over the town of Greenwich with the lights of London well ahead. Then their course took them over Kennington Oval, Vauxhall Bridge, and Battersea, when they presently heard the strains of a Scotch polka.
She had, it seems, booked through to Paris from Charing Cross, but instead of getting on the boat at Folkestone had returned by the next train and taken quiet lodgings at Kennington.

At Kennington Gate the 'bus made a halt. Soames glanced at the clock on the corner. It was close upon one A. M. Where in heaven's name should he go?
"Here is a new and startling, if not altogether unexpected, development," said Thorndyke, as we stood gazing at the bill; which set forth that "these premises, including stabling and workshops," were "to be let on lease or otherwise," and referred inquiries to Messrs.

She thanked him for his kindness in showing and explaining the glittering scene to her, and returned to her supervision of Alice. A few days after this, the Prioress of Kennington, Lord Marnell's sister, came in her litter to see her young sister-in-law.
Well, then he had to fill one up, and to do this he had, first, to find the ink-horn, and then a pen that would 'mark, so that, altogether, a delay took place that would have been peculiarly edifying to a Kennington Common or Lambeth gate-keeper to witness. But it was not all over yet.
