Motteux's solicitors wrote immediately to inform him of his accession to their late client's wealth.

Here boating in the summer and skating in the winter may be indulged in, the latter, especially by torchlight, being a most attractive sight. This lake has recently been supplemented by the excavation of another in the centre of the park, a running stream connecting the two. Chief, or almost chief, of the Sandringham outdoor sights is a famous avenue of trees.
And I'm to preach at Sandringham one Sunday. Yes, to the Family. Tell Gideon that, will you. He'll be so disgusted. But what a chance! Life at St. Anne's is going to be full of chances of slanging the rich, that's one thing about it. 'Oh, you're going to take it, then? 'Probably. I've not written to accept yet, so don't pass it on.

Upon one occasion Tony accompanied him when he was commanded by Queen Victoria to lodge at Sandringham. While there Rhodes asked Tony what time he could get breakfast, whereupon the servant replied: "Royalty does not breakfast, sir, but you can have it in the dining-room at half past nine." Tony seemed to know everything.
Two favorable examples of the present fashion, representing the interior of the Saloon and Drawing Room at Sandringham House, are here reproduced.
They're all robbers. And if you kick they quit on you!" Jill endured Sandringham for ten days; and, looking back on that period of her life later, she wondered how she did it. The sense of desolation which had gripped her on the station platform increased rather than diminished as she grew accustomed to her surroundings.
This gentleman looked, indeed, like an English squire, and spoke our tongue. He had visited King Edward, then Prince of Wales, at Sandringham. As an illustration of his lavish method of doing things, I mention a quantity of building stone lately ordered from Valenciennes. This stone, for the purpose of building offices, had cost L800.
