There, having walked somewhat less time than usual, for the evening was warm and it had been a fatiguing day, John and I sat down together. We talked a little, ramblingly chiefly of Longfield how I was to have my old room again and how a new nursery was to be planned for the grandchildren. "We can't get out of the way of children, I see clearly," he said, laughing.
So she was ever to him, this child of his youth his first-born and his dearest. The Longfield plan being once started, father and mother and I began to consult together as to ways and means; what should be given up, and what increased, of our absolute luxuries, in order that the children might this summer possibly every summer have the glory of "living in the country."
As specimens of many we present Pierrepoint House and Longfield, East Sheen. These are the old models now being reproduced by modern architects, combining novelty without and comfort within, and they are just far enough from London to make them pleasant country-houses, with all the advantage of city luxuries.
"Love," her husband began again, after a long look in her face ah, John, thine was altered too, but himself was the last thing he thought of "say what you like I know what we'll do: for the children's sake. Ah, that's her weak point; see, Phineas, she is yielding now. We'll go for three months to Longfield." Now Longfield was the Utopia of our family, old and young.
We went home, leaving all that was mortal of our darling sleeping at Enderley, underneath the snows. For twelve years after then, we lived at Longfield; in such unbroken, uneventful peace, that looking back seems like looking back over a level sea, whose leagues of tiny ripples make one smooth glassy plain.
Guy looked up, half-reproachfully, as if the father were exacting a sacrifice; but I question whether the greater sacrifice were not his who took rather than hers who gave. So all was settled we were to leave beloved Longfield.
