But this woman was nursing twins, and could not possibly undertake the charge of another baby. And Esther visited many streets, always failing for one reason or another. At last she found herself in Wandsworth, in a battered tumble-down little street, no thoroughfare, only four houses and a coal-shed.
The policeman touched his helmet and strode on his way. Berrington strolled along under the friendly shadow of the trees till he had left Audley Place behind him. Once clear of the terrace he called a cab and was whirled back to town again. Meanwhile, absolutely unconscious of the fact that he was being so closely shadowed, Richford had been driven out Wandsworth way.
One notices that again and again! We passed Clapham Junction, pursuing our journey through the cutting which intersects Wandsworth Common. 'Well, I said, 'you may take it that, except as regards the postal and police services, you are now out of London proper. Presently, indeed, we emerged from the cutting, and fields were seen on either hand. One could breathe at last.
Poor Jack was afterwards shot in a duel by Lord Canterville on Wandsworth Common, and Lady Barbara died of a broken heart at Tunbridge Wells before the year was out, so, in every way, it had been a great success.
In the August following the Wandsworth concert Lord Carbury began to take his electrical laboratory with such intensified seriousness that he flatly refused to entertain any visitors until the 12th, and held fast to his determination in spite of his mother's threat to leave the house, alleging, with a laugh, that he had got hold of a discovery with money in it at last.
Does he still stop short and speechless, and then laugh as if it were a good joke, when he is puzzled or frightened?" "Very rarely, I believe. I will write to you the day after I leave the boys at Wandsworth. They don't like going at all, poor dears. "Well, we shall not be much longer in town, I am sorry to say, and I want a few things from Miss Trant before I go.
And if I don't get those stones before bedtime, why I'm a bigger fool than the police take me for." Thrilling with excitement, Mary followed the others into the street. She saw the two get into a cab, and she proceeded to take one herself. The cabman looked at her dubiously as he asked where he was to go to. "No. 100, Audley Place, Wandsworth Common," Mary said.
Only, when he thought of Violet it seemed to him incomprehensible, not to say absurd, that he should feel it. In the afternoon Winny came again for the children, so that he could go to Wandsworth unencumbered.
The repast ended, the party would set out on foot, in high spirits, making extensive rambles by footpaths and green lanes to Blackheath, Wandsworth, Chelsea, Hampton Court, Highgate, or some other pleasant resort, within a few miles of London. A simple but gay and heartily relished dinner, at a country inn, crowned the excursion.
His own Letters of the period are dated now and then from 'Wandsworth. Allusions there are to Bolingbroke; but the Wandsworth is not Bolingbroke's mansion, which stood in Battersea; the Wandsworth was one Edward Fawkener's; a man somewhat admirable to young Voltaire, but extinct now, or nearly so, in human memory.
